Description The Bridge Library is designed to be a shared community space for the neighborhood. It mimics a box being cut up with paths going through the building, connecting the city and providing paths for entry from different directions. Brick is used as the main material on the exterior along with wood and glass on “cut” faces of the building to create a solid vs transparent effect. The library provides a cafe close to the park and a flexible performance hall at the opposite end to hold various events. The library over all offers a comfortable and open space for the community to access.

There are five ribbons that weave around each other to form the canopy of the amphitheatre. Each canopy includes a bended steel plate that is supported structurally by three steel girders and several beams running horizontally and diagonally between them. Galvanized steel is used due to its high durability and protectivecoating. The galvanization of the steel results in a matte grey colour finish. The seats of the amphitheatre formed using concrete. They descend gradually into the ground while flowing in cohesion with the canopy.
