My solution for Clifton Library draws upon several library precedents, my plaza design, and explores new realities for a library and community space.  The form of my library has taken on the shape of books stacked upon one another, making reference to the importance of literature and its ability to unite humans into a community.  The forms of the overlapping \u201cbooks\u201d will be made of repeating modules carefully layered upon each other. This form creates a variety of dynamic interior and exterior spaces within the building and mirrors the creation of unique experiences found in the squares of my plaza design.  Drawing from the Joan Maragall library, my design becomes an extension of the plaza with a clear connection to the space. Elements for this library are also inspired by Book Mountain, which uses an interior core to house the major program elements, and includes circulation that revolves around the core and reading space that surround this core of spaces.
