SILVER LAKE LIBRARY (2nd year - 2nd semester)
The project was to design a library in the Silver Lake Meadow. The goal is to explore the materiality and characteristics of steel, the strength, stiffness, stability, and synergy.
The main concept of this project was to explore the idea of Film Noir through the color “white and black”, which is “light and dark”
The idea of the horizontal bans were implemented for the skin portion of the project. These bans would sit flush against the curtain wall to prevent sunlight from entering or they would start to rotate and open for the sunlight to enter. The intention of the horizontal bans is to be closed or opened base on the program of the project.
The form of the project was being explored through the idea of torqueing and shifting to an octagon. The intention was to create an extraordinary and complex form through very basic and control moves.
