Library

The next zone that I wanted to detail was the library. My approach to this particular zone was inspired by the concept of recycling which in this case is the large roof of the building that is made up of solar panels to gather energy from the sun. In doing so, I was able to achieve a building that would sustain itself in terms of the energy it uses thus accomplishing the concept of recycling in the design of my building. I also created two different spaces of multiple levels on each side of the building linked together by a curved stairway that would entice the people walking on it to absorb the surrounding nature that is framed through the circular fixed windows throughout the length of the stairway.

The screenshots of the library can be viewed below.

The other zones will be detailed in the upcoming days.
