Clifton Library//Esther Amonor

My approach to this design started with the idea of slope and light. For my precedent library, I studied the Delft University Library of Technology in the Netherlands. A key feature that I wanted to encapture from that library to mine was the slope. Another important factor in my concept is the enhancement of natural light. Since the site is facing South, I wanted to take advantage of the amount of natural sunlight coming in. I have developed two designs that best depict my concept.
