Clifton Young Adult Library

The concept behind my design was revolved around the idea of creating an indoor, outdoor experience. This concept came from the idea that Clifton Plaza which this library is attached to, was an outdoor room, with no walls or roofs. With this design it then creates an interesting experience as one travels from one end of the building to the other.

Site Plan

This project was based in Cincinnati, Ohio. More specifically in Clifton.

Clifton Library

The big idea behind my design is separating spaces by their noise level while creating a circulation pattern between the two separate spaces. The circulation pattern will allow light to come into the spaces that require it the most. Another goal behind my design is to have a strong connection to the Clifton Plaza and incorporate the idea of “being aware of what is happening in the moment.”

Concept: Void and Fill

  • Parti Diagram
  • Design Process

There is an interesting relationship between solid structures and the voids they create; this particular relationship is what I wanted to explore. In the process of designing, I have created multiple spaces where the three volumes intersect. My design explores space through what is there and what is not.

    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.
