Role: Visualization and design
Project role:
While understanding the role of context and landscape within a historical setting, this project aims to design a small library for artist books. The form of the building is developed by the qualities and needs encountered in SCAD Lacoste.
Project description:
While in Lacoste, data was collected from physical and narrative site analysis. Understanding movement within this place helped to develop the concept behind the design—human activity and how the sunlight moves on the site throughout the day. The initial response considers the history of Lacoste and translates it into spaces where locals and visitors can interact with the artists’ books.
