LIBRARY (FINAL) PICTURES

                                           

                                       The 5th Floor has been removed as it didn't fit with 

                                   our design and was surplus to requirements.

                                   Therefore we have moved the study area onto the 

                                   4th floor. 
Also vegetation has been added around 

                                   our library to liven its surroundings. 
Our library 

                                   has been designed to personify a human heart, 

                                   highlighted by the shells that imitates 
the actual 

                                   shape of a heart. The exterior is plain and simple 

                                   to show the simplicity of the physical 
heart but the 

                                   interior is very complex to convey the complex 

                                   personal feelings and emotions of the heart, 

                                   highlighted with the transparent floor on ground 

                                   level that acts like a dome for the sub-conscious 

                                   thoughts.

                                      "A book should not be judged by its cover, but by

                                   what it possesses internally".


                                                   FRONT VIEW OF LIBRARY

Shows the primary elements of the library.

TILTED VIEW OF THE 3RD AND 4TH FLOOR

 Shows the brown, bubinga texture of the 

                                         of the 
higher storeys.


ON THE SECOND FLOOR

                                    Shows the positioning of our blog walls, as well

                                    as the clear 
glass barriers that make up the first

                                    floor. Our elevator is also a main feature in this 

                                    level.


                                                      ON THE FIRST FLOOR

 

                                    The main highlight is the 9 journals(3 each) that 
                                    make up our library.



                                         BACK-PART OF THE SECOND FLOOR

    The lights on the upper levels have been manipulated

      through
 Scratch to move in and upwards/downwards  

direction as well as disappear. Also our glass wall
 

     window feature is interesting as it creates a distinctive

     shadow pattern that moves around 
library throughout

                                 the day.


THE ELEVATOR

 An elevator has been installed for easy access

                                     to the upper levels of the 
library. 


CLOSE UP ON THIRD FLOOR

                                         The wall texture on on the inner shells of our 

                                     library contain multiple
 linear patterns to give

                                     the occupants of the library an interesting place 

                                     to relax.


  THE BRIDGE

                                     The bridge links the 3rd and 4th floor together.
                                     It is simple with transparent glass 
barriers as 
                                     the bridge is visible from the front view and is 
                                     a critical element 
to the look of the library.



THE GLASS WALL

                                         The glass wall is aesthetically appealing as it

                                     creates different shadows throughout the 

                                     different times of day.
