| dc.description.abstract | The current Springfield Public Library building is spatially and organizationally inadequate considering the evolving and diverse needs of the library. This thesis lays out a design proposal for a new building, integrated with a new Head Start Early Learning Center. First, understanding the historical, urban, cultural, and climatic context of the new library frames its current goals. A precedent review, several interviews, and on-site data collection inform this background. Next, the design proposes creating a building composed of three north-south oriented bars, echoing the surrounding urban fabric, with the middle bar acting as a “living room” for the library. From the initial concept, five sections—site design, program organization, structure, sustainability, and user experience—develop the proposal and show specific solutions for each goal. | en_US |
