The James B. Hunt Libr ary The library that we have had the privilege of researching was the James B Hunt Jr. Library located on North Carolina State’s campus in Raleigh, North Carolina. The library was designed by Snohetta. The Executive Architects over the project were Pearce Brinkley and Lee. Planning for the project began in January 2008 and the project was completed September 2009. Funding for the project was roughly $115.2 Million. The structure is 88 feet high at its tallest point; roughly 460 feet long; 180 feet wide at its widest point; and has an area of 221,122 square feet. The building is mostly glass with steel framing. The other 31 % of the building is made from recycled materials and most of its wood comes from sustainable forest. Additionally, external aluminum fins help control temperature and glare while rooftop solar panels help supply hot water to the building and efficient plumbing fixtures to reduce water usage. The building was designed with sustainability, resourcefulness, and the students in mind.

The previous campus library was only able to hold around 5% of the student body while the James B Hunt Jr. Library is able to hold roughly 20% of the student body. A huge feature that contributes to this idea is the ginormous book bot the houses the entire libraries archives. The robotic devices allow for users to search for books electronically and an automated retrieval device will find the book and bring it to the user on the spot. By keeping the library in the robotic archives this allows for more space to be used for circulation and students to gather and work collaboratively. It also allows for larger reading spaces for students to use. Also, the library houses more advanced technology for students such as VR Labs and gaming rooms.

Site Placement...

The Hunt Library is located on the outskirts of N. C. State’s campus in Raleigh North Carolina. The library also sits quite close to Lake Raleigh, providing a very nice view out of the windows located along the south side of the building. On the other hand, the windows on the north side of the building overlook th N. C State campus.

When we first began researching the Hunt Library, we were immediately intrigued by how innovative and “student oriented� the space was. Snohetta truly focused on creating a space where students can collaborate, research, and explore new ideas, while still providing some quiet areas. By having large, open spaces throughout the library, they were able to create a space that is both flexible and can serve a large amount of students. We were also interested in the use of natural light within the space. It is quite rare to see a library that utilizes natural light as extensively as this building does, since sunlight can potentially damage books.

We were also very interested in the concept of the BookBot. By incorporating this innovative method of storage and organization into the space, Snohetta was able to conserve space, allowing there to be more space for seating for students. While this does allow a larger capacity within the space, we also feel that this method will make it much more difficult to browse for a book.

Lastly, while thinking about analogies for this library, we began exploring a comparison of the space to a filing cabinet. On the exterior, the narrow windows somewhat resemble files, which are all contained within the structure, which can be compared to a filing cabinet. Also, the BookBot can be compared to a filing cabinet, with the books acting as files.

When it came time to for me to switch my focus from the site to the actual design of the cabin, I decided that I would like to explore different of designing than what I typically use. I took some inspiration from Frank Gehry, and began sketching out different geometric forms, primarily made up of solely horizontal and vertical lines, to create sections. I then began manipulating and combining these shapes in order to create the exterior for of the cabin. After drawing approximately fifty different forms in my sketchbook and manipulating them in various ways, I was able to develop the final exterior shape of my cabin, and use that to begin creating a simple floor plan.

A good portion of this project was spent exploring different ways of creating a cohesive design by using methods such as looking at geometry, program, circulation, site and form. After creating several sketches, I began to concentrate on a few aspects that I wanted to clearly portray in my final design. The first aspect that I wanted to explore was the idea of hierarchy. I decided that I wanted my building to be made up of several different masses, each at varying heights in order to create a hierarchical scale. The next concept was the idea of spanning. I wanted a building that truly filled the site, and worked well with the surrounding roads and buildings. Lastly, I wanted to create a space using geometries set on separate grids, and the find a way to begin to merge the grids together. in the end, I decided to continue exploring with the fifth iteration shown here, that originated from one of my original sketches. The diagrams on the right represent how my initial sketch became the final form that was carried throughout the rest of the project.

Mo d e l P ic tures For my model, I chose to include the floor plan engraved into the base, and then make the roof removable, so that way the floor plan can be fully seen from above.. This helped to show the relationship between the minor interior walls versus the major interior walls and exterior walls. It also helped to portray the arrangement of spaces. Because this was only meant to be an exterior shell model, I feel that including the floor plan added another aspect to my model that made it easier to read an understand as a whole.
