Riverside Library: Frame the River & Green
Site location: Enterprize Park
The site, as the middle ground between the Yarra River and the city's CBD, can be seen as a buffer and a soft transition.
Various elements are used as frames to frame the various views of the city, river and park. Windows, doors, structures, even building itself can be used as frames.
The combination of pure steel structure and translucent polycarbonate sheets creates a sense of hazy and transpancey, while framing different scenery around the site, providing a flowing space experience and scenery in the library.
