The project consists of a new library on the site of
an existing library at the corner of Harvard and E. Republican St. The
site is the border between commercial and multi-family zones of Capitol
Hill. In collaboration with James Cutler, the library is designed to
be environmentally sensitive. The building is wrapped by a ?vertical
garden? which extends inside the building as well as out. The library
also extends the living environment found in the residential
neighborhood to the west towards the commercial district to the east
through its two story central reading room, lined and surrounded by
plant material and books, which will be a refuge of calm and quiet for
those visiting from the commercial area. The exterior expression of the
building is urban, the library will have an urban edge as well as a
living skin.
