My intention with the library is to create a relationship between the individual and the architectural spaces. After some experiment with open end corridors and transparency I finally settled on openness. Openness, because discovery opens the individual to knowledge, the library is the place where this kind of activity takes place. A person using the library facilities is open to knowledge and enlightenment, so this became my main focus to translate into architectural form. I established this by having an open space, a kind of miniature courtyard on the upper level. My first study consisted of a square, with planes opening up to one another. However I later on developed my design into something more asymmetrical by working with a deformed rectangle. The end result produced a form I was happy with and then I was left with the positioning of the functions in a comfortable and logical manner.
