THE LATTER STAGES

                                    The main element of this stage of our construction  
                                 process was the addition of the 5th floor.



FRONT VIEW
                                     The library as a whole with the added 5th floor,
                                     personifies the brain from the "open heart" 
                                     
shells. 



CLOSE-UP VIEW
   Shows the connection between the floors from
     level 3 to level 5 with the brown bubinga 
texture
                                      linking the storeys together.



THE 5TH FLOOR
                                     This area is a book shelf and study area.
      Particles are used on the roofing to 
imitate stars 
                                     on the sky. The staircase almost acts as a tendon
                                     link from the "brain"(5th level)
 to the "heart"(Shells)





                                                   5TH FLOOR STUDY AREA
                                    The study area has been placed on the highest
                                    level possible to relax the occupants
 with the 
                                    beautiful surrounding scenery. Also the glass
                                    skylight on top of the roof gives the occupants
 
                                    natural light instead of artificial.



                                                    5TH FLOOR BOOK SHELF
                                     The bookshelf is situated on the top level so 
                                     that people visiting the library
would have to 
                                     visit all levels in order to get out books, 
                                     therefore personally experiencing the whole
                                     
building.
