Floor Plans

Here are my floor plans for this week where I have worked out the first iteration of program organization and building layout.

The general concept is that this is a "working" library, less for access to materials, and more for areas to work, meet, and collaborate. Limited material will be available for "browsing" and will be organized by topic (similar to a bookstore) than by traditional library systems, such as the Dewey Decimal system. The work areas get quieter as you ascend upward. The upper-most floor is a mezzanine level for library staff offices.

Circulation areas and "movement" areas will contain loose book stacks that people will be forced to walk passed and "browse" as they move to their desired location within the building.

I have axons and sections of the building, but can't post them yet because I need to scan them...I will get them up here ASAP.
