Clifton Young Adult/Teen Library by Junnan Li

Concept

Exploration. As time goes by, people become stronger. The library is the same place where people can grow. Because it is going to be bigger, my library is shaped like a greater than sign. At the same time, the design of my plaza is a similar shape. This library is not only a place to read books but also a social place. At the same time, the functionality is also very comprehensive. Singing, dancing, and leisure can all be satisfied here. Solar glass and Fabraic’s shading system help reduce energy consumption.

Concept Statement

My parti diagram represents my concept of the relationship between the space in a forest and the different sound and activity levels.

By understanding how closely linked the site was to the Clifton Plaza, an outdoor park, I aimed to carry certain elements of a park into my building. Details such as the open atrium, outdoor spaces such as a roofgarden and the visible columns that extend throughout my structure symbolizing that of forest trees.

Concept

For my Library Design, I focused on having the public thoroughfare run directly through the center of the library. The public thoroughfare divides the program into 3 main spaces. The lower most region on Howell avenue level being the library and book stacks. The two floors above the plaza level contain all learning and media areas. The public thoroughfare, which is lined with administration is a direct continuation from the plaza into the library program. This thoroughfare divides these two main sectors and provides access to the whole program when allowed.

My concept is connection. There is a need for community and the need for interconnectedness with the natural and built environment. Architecture should create a link between people and the natural environment, an innate connection that has lost its potency in society. This library and any new constructions should minimize their impact on the ecosystem, for example by displacing rather than destroying nature through the use of green roofs and living walls, thus contributing to the environment rather than draining and dominating the environment. This is achieved through meeting the needs of people, among which is social interaction.  These goals must be achieved through consideration of design at all scales, from a single detail to a city, for example the design should provide social opportunities through the integration of program, circulation space, and interior and exterior common areas. Interconnections between the community created by the building and landscape are of vital importance; however, connections to the community beyond the building are also important.

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.

CLIFTON LIBRARY – Olivia Vozzo

Concept: I wanted to create a sense of a smaller community within the larger community, which is Clifton. To create this community, I want to draw people into the pocket plaza from off the side walks and streets but utilizing the views filtered but the trees to spike interesting in the passing audience. Along with bringing people in and forming a smaller senes of community, I want to make the space flexible for those who occupy it, as well as comfortable. I chose moveable and comfortable furniture to make the library an urban living room and reading room atmosphere, while giving the locals the flexibility in how they want to utilize the space.
