We have officially moved on to the next project and I am fairly excited for it. I love to read so the fact that we are doing a library kind of feels like a perfect fit. This first part of the project that includes research doesn't excite me as much, but I love getting to see how so many different architects approach the same problem and come up with completely different design solutions. I took on the task of finding a library from 1960-1995 while Amber search for 1995 and beyond. We unintentionally found buildings for each others categories, but I'm just happy we found some that fit the criteria. The building I'm focusing on is the Goddard Library at Clark University. It was originally built in the 1960s and was recently renovated. They kept the structure and modified the materials used and it is so cool to see the merge of old and new with both material and design. I'm hoping Amber and I will find some inspiration through this research and obviously come up with an awesome design of our own later on.
