dc library
 

purpose:

Undergraduate design studio project exploring the tectonic design solutions for a library program within the limitations of a challenging Washington D.C. infill site.

 

design solution:

For the street facade I created a series of models and elevation studies to create a balanced composition of solid and void. Through an investigation of individual spaces with vignettes and physical models I developed furniture, lighting, and material finishes for each of the programed spaces.
