the library park urban development proposal is mainly geared towards providing an interesting and engaging self-learning environment for youths aged from 6 to 18.
the library park also seeks to create a social and recreational hub for the local community and new farm residents by integrating many lounge areas that allow users to enjoy the river and city views and encourage social interaction.
The design of the library park is inspired by the key elements within the HSW site namely the story bridge, the cliffs and the wharf area.
The bridge element is reflected by the linear rear building supported with the k truss glass facades similar to that of the bridge, this creates interesting patterns within the space as light passes through during different times in day.
the cliff element is represented by the main facade of the building providing comfortable shaded outdoor spaces that is organic in form and allows the best views of the surrounding. the tilt of the shading device allows greater sunlight penetration during the morning and winter periods and minimizes sun during the summer and glare during the sunset periods.
the final element represented in the green yard which is the main bridging element between the two buildings. The green yard provides a soothing green space within the building and functions as a method of entry from the outside to the inside of the building as well as between the front and the back of the building. The green yard also creates functional space that creates a playing area for children as well as a picnic area for families and a relaxation spot of users passing through [cyclists or joggers]
