This library explores the intersection and interaction between contradicting masses, those that are dense and those that are light. The light mass contains most of the community-centered program. With its vast and open spaces, visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the natural light that spills through the expansive curtain walls. In the three denser masses there are bookstacks, employee back-of-house, and a cafe. In the central cylinder, a more traditional library experience is encouraged, with small reading nooks scattered among the vast book collection. The reaction between these masses creates many interesting situations, providing all visitors with a unique and engaging library experience.
