Studio4. Submission 2.






Key differences from the esquisse submission -
1. articulation+circulation. My previous design was largely based on thinking about the logical positioning or functional relationships between the scheduled spaces, and as such up to the esquisse the plans simply looked like a bunch of boxes spaced close to each other. With this submission, I focused mainly on breaking up the cube geometries and playing with L-shaped walls which allowed the formation of corridors and narrow circulation paths which generate a more forceful articulation for the user and a greater sense that one was walking into a new area with a new function, whilst at the same time retaining the open space feeling I wanted to include in the library.
2. cafe area. I shifted the cafe outdoor area directly east flanked by 2 sides of walls, which allows the morning sun, whether in winter or summer, to hit the area. This also allowed the creation of a glass wall corner which allows a person in the main library to view outside into the cafe and the eastern views (this can be seen in the perspective).
