Hightech Library ABSTRACT: The emphasis of the studio will be on the development of disciplinarily informed frameworks and sophisticated techniques for design processes, outcomes and discourse. At the beginning of overarching and/or emergent organizational strategies - manifested in significant architectural precedents and following contextual analyses, we designed a small city library with intelligible organizational inter-relationships of form, geometry, program and tectonics. The studio commence with rigorous analyses of historic and contemporary projects in order to cultivate expert comprehension and graphic communication of the systems germane to their respective organizations. In situating the studio project in a prominent city. we also engaged with urban planning and design issues. Over the course of the semester we demonstrate cultural and methodological evidence of historical and contemporary disciplinary terminology and theoretical expansions including Diagram, Emergence, Morphogenesis, Parti, Topology and Typology. We started eith the Manhattan grid and develope it with design strategies to suport the origram and needs for a hightech library. I was intrested in creting a hightech library by looking at the posibilities of future library. So, there are robos in this building and it mostly goes with ebooking that when you come to this library you will have access to all the ebooks and you can bluthooth them. So, I was trying to keep the library like a networking place and keep different parks in this project.
