Description +


PROGRAM: architectural archive and research library
    SIZE: 2,700 sq ft
STATUS: complete

Design
Brachiating time is expressed with the addition of a new architecture in contract to an existing building. The design of the Architectural Library Archive and Research Building is envisioned in branching sections, threading through trees on the site at ‘T’ Space Reserve. The existing 1940 bungalow anchors the 2019 extension.

The Collection
A 42-year archive of literature, art and architecture records the passage of trends in contemporary design from 1977 to the present and is still growing. The archive holdings include original artwork, sketches, drawings and prints by a variety of artists. The Architectural Library’s pride is its collection of artwork by renowned architects such as Louis Kahn, Zaha Hadid and Lebbeus Woods. A portion of the library’s collection of artwork will be on view.

Vision
Currently at 2,763 square feet, the Architectural Library is envisioned to continue to grow, with an additional 5,250 square feet of collection-expanding space planned. Archival materials are case studies from every step in the design process. Its wide range of materials enables visitors of all backgrounds and experiences to have thoughtful engagements with design theory and practice.
