London Library
This was a junior level undergraduate design studio class, at Pennsylvania College of Technology, taught by Naim Jabbour in spring 2018.
​
The main concept came from the stacking of space and volumne, shifting or spaee and volumne, and push and pulling of facade. Throughout the years the form of reading has changed a lot. We go from reading paper book, newspapers, and magazines, to reading everything digitally. Because of all the changes with technology we were to purpose a new public library in the financial district of London. The purposed site is located on Potters Fields Park on the south banks of the Thames River. Neighboring buildings include City Hall, Red Bull Studios, and Bridge Theater. The purposed building had required rooms and square meters. With the focus of fitting in with the city scape.
