Sarah Oldford | April 27th Critique

When beginning our research of various library’s, I used the Sawyer Library as a precedent for my space. This modernized library allows students to move freely throughout the space, utilizing each section. The 2014 edition features an atrium located on the center axis, prioritizing natural light. 

The centerpiece parti diagram in the Sawyer Library serves as the driving design point for the entire library. This piece unifies both the new and old sections of the library as it moves the students through the entire space.

I was able to implement some of the design aspects seen in Sawyer Library and Bordeaux House, from my pocket park, into my own library. By intertwining three masses, the building begins to shape its own central backbone. Each mass overlaps creating a variety of dynamic levels, bringing the community together as one in the center of the library.

Clifton Library

My Concept for this project is creating an experience that involves the way that light shines through the building. This is accomplished through the glass atrium that is in the center of the building, that will have different colored panels of glass. This will brings an indoor outdoor experience as one moves throughout the building.

Plans

Sections & Elevations

  • North Elevation
  • West Elevation

Interior Perspective

This is a view from the second level, showing the bridge between the two sides of the building in the atrium.

Exterior Perspectives

Materials

The exterior of the building will be paneled steel, while the glass atrium will be three different colored pressed glass. All the other glass walls shown would be a single color.
