Today’s libraries are underutilized and undervalued. Yet if designed mindfully, they can engage, excite and provide tools for success.
Disrupting the existing library model can allow libraries to evolve into multi-use spaces where creativity and inclusivity is paramount.
The goal of the Library of the Future is to design a sustainable and future-oriented space, which connects the community through innovative programs that focus on blending the past, present and future to create a cohesive and inclusive learning environment.
Inspired by an iceberg submerged in water, the reception hub radiates outwards into rows of bookshelves resembling Stonehenge.
The main floor contains the hard copy book collection, child and teen spaces, lounges, meeting rooms, a technology lab, a study hall, an auditorium and a restaurant.
The mezzanine is equipped with a large creation space, two innovation stations, a collaboration corner and the creation cafe. This allows charrette style competitions, brainstorming events and STEAM based learning to be accessed by anyone.
