Concept Statement
The main concept for this library was to organize everything around a central spiraling ramp that serves as the main circulation as well as the stacks area. The unusual shape presented structural difficulties that led to the decision to use two diagrids braced with beams internal to the ramp. I looked at precedents from Norman Foster and Bernard Tschumi. The spiral structure and diagrid also calls back to the visuals of my Clifton Plaza Project.
