The design process for the structure began with analysing the context and condition of the functions and the program of the library. I was design thinking of the volumes of the spaces for the classified activities and wrapping the skin of the building around of those activities but also distributing them in a logical sequence. The philosophy was to let the building required functions dictate what it should look like rather than imposing a stiff structure and making the functions conform to that.
Starting from the core of the building outwards.
Braking with the concept people might have of (in this case) libraries as a stuffy and dusty places for gigs but making it an inviting and fun place to be.
