Architectural Character
Success Criteria
Feel connected
The future Library and Learning Center is a success! What key words describe it? Middle of residential area, fit in with residential but also stand out
Wood (WARM + WELCOMING) exterior responding to trees
Benches will make the feel neighborly (#19)
City Hall feels Industrial - suitable for location
Two way connection to the world
Approach + Experience
Alien in neighborhood
Form + Stature
Materiality
Connectivity + Axis
Iconic, that will last, timeless Don't need a peaked roof just to match the residential neighborhood
Open to sky topmost level to allow for drive-in movie viewing
Think of a drive-in theater as a model for use! Needs to reflect to the community warmth and welcome (represents the neighborhood) Pride and Worth (#5, #7, #19)
#19 fits into Sunnyvale neighborhood
Exhibits of distance markers from major cities

14
Maybe better in the el camino area
10
Nest - safe place - bring people together - safety + comfort/ welcoming/ cross generational
Open - visiblility in - more inviting than #19
19 Too Rigid

Fully shaded preferred
Enclosure is perfect for outdoor space
window and doorway to the world!
Kids interact with the man in the front (statue)
Envelope + Context
Stature is nice
Wow factor!
Parking scale is a concern (multi-level to minimize impact)
Welcoming feel
7 Angles are unsettling - not fit for residential neighborhood

Architectural Character
Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success! What key words describe it? Concern for graffiti on glazing
Baseball damaging glazing? Hate to give up building space - proximity to park - outdoor spaces might not be necessary
Approach + Experience
Roof form plays well with slopes of park
Form + Stature

Concern for damage to glazing
Swales and berms to compliment the building
Landscape - is it being considered?
Materiality
Colorful - visually appealing
Connectivity + Axis
Brick reminiscent of Eichlers - to tie into neighborhood

Connected Exterior Space for community without interrupting school program/ schedule

#8 - beautiful roof form
7 16
Insulation to keep heating cooling costs down
#14 - covered New children's hospital at Stanford walkway/breeze (Lucile Packard) - redwood feature ways as pleasant (hangar 1 at Moffett field) - can outdoor space - Library incorporate Sunnyvale piece provides of history? invitation Like outdoor Children oriented - Solar would be space in 19 - nothing here that #16 - Like windows, nice to have to blending in materials, modern, like that - speaks to that power the with Park is Outdoor space with benches- nice to have a place to hang building (ZNE nice out and read a book ready)

Architectural Character
Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success! What key words describe it? Love Contemporary style - modern and contemporary - 2,4,16 materials are nice but all right angles - high-desert, boxy not appealing
Commonality of homes reflected in some parts of the library is desired (Eichlers) 2:12 sloped roofs with exposed beams - nice and common neighborhood element to replicate
#12 light patterns! Good #19 - Abundance of glass, roof feature, benches are pretty
2, 16 is amazing, 18, 13, 3, 19 - do not care about matching Lakewood School - Love Contemporary!
Hours? - programming at different hours - light pollution impacting neighbors homes?
Roof being taller in one section is appealing - 19 + 8 very pretty - 15 or 14 do not like
Approach + Experience
Form + Stature
Materiality
Connectivity + Axis

#12 light patterns! Good opportunity, pretty! opportunity,very very pretty!

Park is focal point hence Library as focal point and highly visible - features to highlight! Lakewood park is very busy - outdoor space will be well used if it can be used afterhours - people will take advantage

Architectural Character
Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success! What key words describe it? #5 could serve as a beacon to draw people in
8, 14, 3 - covered opening as you approach building
have things or toys you could check out - areas for kids to access things - interactive/ stimulii
#12 with bris soleil - on sides of building that will harsh sunlight - transparency of open window on other sides
Mezzanine looking over park
#7 - reminds of Central Texas
greenbelt at back - bike racks at back will be ideal - bike friendly
#3 - looks like bow of ship - does not fit in
#5 - very nice transparency - big glowing roof-line common and popular - modern
neighborhood is a mix of different sizes and shapes - modern is preferable - sets tone for future
great weather - outdoor spaces?
Security concerns - build in monitoring
Materiality
Connectivity + Axis
Civic presence

#7 - hides library - roofline similar to homes around - library should stand out - should be find-able
No buildings like these currently - hard to fit into character of neighborhood - new feel with more modern style
#2 is interesting
Approach + Experience
Roof form looks like wave
