The project exists, essentially, as two ramps: the library and the public space, created by extruding the parking lot retaining wall cut and folding up or down. For the library ramp, the circulation takes you up through reading terraces, around the special collections room, through the art gallery, and finally into the childrens library before you descend back to the lobby. Outside, the public space ramp begins under the library, taking you down to the community functions, such as a cafe, classrooms, community room, and coffee bar, then on down to an amphitheater and playground, and ultimately ending at the lower parking lot cut where new commercial space has been generated.The ramps up and down help create space that is multi-functional and multi-operational in order to serve the needs of a library as an institution of knowledge, a place of community, and a catalyst for urban development.
