Lulu's Library



Final Model:






Concept:
When it came to thinking about my concept i thought of the main thing that we do in a library which is reading. So i thought that whenever we are reading, information is getting into our brain to then create a certain outcome that can be : memory, conclusion, opinion....

So when i came to translate this idea into form, i thought of collision of two main volumes that lead to the extrusion of minor volumes.

Therefore, i have the main volume (brain) where another volume (information) cuts through it leading to the extrusion of other minor volumes.

So the volume that seems cutting through the main volume stands out whenever you are approaching the building, thats why i decided to make it consist of the main function of the library which is the reading areas and book stacks.
