experience 1: concept

This semester, my studio focuses on the design of libraries from the past, present and future. We began the semester with the precedent studies of libraries constructed between 10,000 BC-1400 AD, from 1400-1800 AD and 1800-2000 AD. I was attracted to the Seattle Central Library for its form, which intends to bring natural light into the space and connect the interior with the exterior. I tried to materialize this concept through an abstract installation utilizing metal, fabric and light. I went through a series of sketch models and sketches to help me understand the form, its construction and future experience.
