Clifton Library

Amanda Marra

For my prescendent study I researched the Joan Maragall library in Barcelona, which inspired a lot of characteristics in my library, specifically the use of glass as a main structural element.

FLOOR PLANS:

  • Basement level – auditorium & parking
  • First floor plan – Howell Level
  • Fourth floor plan – Terrace
  • Second Floor plan- Plaza Level
  • Third floor plan

ELEVATIONS:

  • EAST ELEVATION
  • SOUTH ELEVATION
  • WEST ELEVATION
  • NORTH ELEVATION

PERSPECTIVES:

  • EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE FROM HOWELL
  • INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE FROM HOWELL SIDE
  • EXTERIOIR PERSPECTIVE FROM PLAZA
  • INTERIOIR PERSPECTIVE FROM PLAZA SIDE

SECTIONS:

  • LATITUDE SECTION
  • LONGITUDE SECTION

CONCEPT:

My concept for this project is primarily. focused on open space and balance. It is visible throughout my building that the corners are primary locations for where I placed rooms or spaces in general. I wanted to have the center open for possibilities throughout the spaces for activities or elements.

Clifton Young Adult Library Emma Sander


My Library design is based off of the idea of an interlocking puzzle with each floor being able to connect to the floor above and below it. I tired to emulate my plaza concept of fluidity between the plaza and the community into my library by keeping the same organic curved shape and allowing it to flow into the library. I was really inspired by the Children’s library in Shanghai and different landscape architects that play with contrasting materials and voids. The overlapping looks that makes the puzzle pieces is represented through the floors that allow the user to experience multiple levels.

Maddie Crane’s Young Adult Library

    Precedent Study

    My initial precedent for a library was the Geisel Library by William Pereira. The design itself was not used as much in my library, however taught me valuable lessons about what should not be included in my layout. The main lesson I drew from this library was to provide multiple points of entry, since the Geisel Library only had one main point of entry into the library. Not only is this not up to code today, but it puts lots of pressure on the entry sequence, and constantly has to be repaired.

    Conceptual Development

    My concept for my Clifton Library was initially derived and continuous from my concept in my Clifton Park. This park is the entrance to the library, and I wanted both designs to be fluid and continuous. In my Clifton Park, I found that an urban park is essentially a break from the every day life. By entering the park, you are breaking from your day to day routine. I wanted to continue this theme into my library, where the library could provide similar opportunities. The surrounding lights at night would encourage users to enter both spaces at any time of day, and provide a safe space to commute, or stop and reflect.

    Andrew Linares Clifton Library Design

    Parti Diagram/Main Idea

    Focusing on building-site relationships, the integration of more green space in the Clifton area and adhering to what previously exists I aimed to create an effortless flow of continuous space from the Clifton Plaza to the Library.
