LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE

Jan 2024 - May 2024

CONCEPT STATEMENT

The modern, futuristic, one-of-a-kind library redesign for Ohio University harmonizes nature and knowledge, featuring innovative green technology, ornamental tree-shaped columns, and an unique shelving design of various materials and shapes. Multiple spaces provide occupants with contemporary, functional furniture of warm, natural wood tones and vibrant colors. In addition to accessing the extensive learning workspaces, students perceive this library as an extension of home with all the comforts. This magnificent and futuristic model library reflects organic structures in the furnishings and decoration throughout the interior. The innovative highlight of this project is that living plants provide illumination by releasing the naturally stored in a bioelectrochemical fuel cell through anodes inserted in the soil. The plant energy system, known as “green plantsgreen energy,” is an example of Ohio University’s commitment to “going green.”

PRIVATE SEATING

Private seating embodies the sacred right to delve into knowledge, contemplate, and cultivate ideas without the intrusion of unwanted observation or surveillance. Within these secluded spaces, individuals are empowered to engage in unrestricted intellectual inquiry within the library’s confines. Here, the absence of judgment or scrutiny fosters an environment where users can freely navigate

information, explore diverse perspectives, and nurture their intellect without fear of repercussion or censorship. Through private seating, we champion the essence of intellectual freedom, affirming that everyone can explore the depths of their curiosity and imagination in solitude. The sanctuary of private seating provides personal thought, and exploration reigns supreme.
