Exterior
At the exterior, south- and west-facing clerestories with exterior light shelves extended natural light onto the
ceilings and deep into reading spaces, while shading the large windows below from high summer sun
(Figs. 1, 9 above). These are further augmented by a light court onto which the staff wings overlooks;
the aforementioned sawtooth rooftop monitors over the circulation desk, reading areas and reference
stacks; and the butterfly roof over the open stacks.
CONCLUSIONS
Circulation
The ramped (and stair) portion of the building (Fig. 8 above) not only
brings users in wheelchair or on foot together, allowing them to
seamlessly navigate a building on a steeply sloping site, the change
in levels successfully delineates spaces, helps define their
character, and introduces a dynamism of views and perspective
often missing from relatively small public buildings.
