BIOPHILIC BIBLIOTHECA

A PLACE WHERE KNOWLEDGE, NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY BRING INCLUSIVITY

Biophilic Bibliotheca describes an inclusive Library of the future, giving space to every stratum of the diverse society in San Fransico. The welcoming biophilic form of this structure has grown itself from in the heart of the old building, keeping the important south edge of the old building intact in its traditional form.

With the ongoing double exponential growth in digital infrastructure this building will house the most advanced ways of spreading knowledge to the users. It is ready to adapt as per society, climate and economy while being static to hold societal values.

The biophilic and fluidic design of the buildings seamlessly blends with the landscape, creating an inviting and inclusive space for people.

The objective is to create spaces which serve the public interest. The buildings are moving away from conventional box-shaped structures towards organic, dynamic, and multifunctional designs that respond to changing societal needs, sustainability, and technological breakthroughs. Future building materials are anticipated to possess high strength-to-weight characteristics.

Picture a future where walking is a luxury and the Fulton Plaza is the gateway to a magnificent building that harmoniously merges digital infrastructure with nature. Imagine screens so thin they can cover the entire facade, bringing the building to life. Society envisions themselves in and around the building, transforming it to fit the occasion in the city. This can be achieved with the help of the facade, colors, and advanced bio-tech elements that can revolutionize the spaces within no time.

Significance of community spaces in nurturing human interaction and compassion considered while designing. Amidst increasing drug use and loneliness pandemic, it is essential to establish environments that facilitate mental rejuvenation and renewal. Therefore, the building design will incorporate serene meditation spaces, free of harmful radiation, to support psychological well-being. The building features plentiful gathering areas for all to convene, through intentional biophilic design and careful planning.

Education is an essential activity carried out by humanity; libraries will play a crucial role in bringing together diverse learners in the future
