Defining a library not by it’s specific use, but by it’s spacial quality while in use is the innovative approach to this library research. The project serves as a study to incorporate this idea through the use of a forest. Six Mile’s branch library would serve as a serene, academic sanctuary to the community by immulating a wood emcompassed by nature.
