FOLIE TO BUILDING- Refined Designs

With the help of some exemplars, a better idea of the library is taking shape. Using the idea of large prefabricated ribs from the Vennesla library in Norway. Ultimately, the materials and overall form will be very different, but the method is highly adaptable to the open yet clearly compartmentalized (paradox, much?) shelving and reading area, as well as the undercroft.

Current section showing Vennesla influence. Undercroft area broken into six to eight ribbed sections. Each section supports stairs and a ramp winding from ground to first floor.
