The concept behind the building
The design started from practical considerations: What activities will the building be required to handle and how can similar functions be grouped together? After analyzing functions and space requirements, five broad categories emerged: administration and staff, collections, information, public space and parking. The architects visualized the space as five stacked boxes and used that as a starting point for the building's design. The boxes, or sections, were repositioned to allow better views and light. The result is a unique space that solved many of the library's logistical problems. |
