COMMUNITY LIBRARY title: Engaging Enclosure | site: Springdale, AR | fall 2020 | Prof. Francesco Bedeschi
site view
This proposal for a public community library in Springdale, Arkansas symbolically encourages and welcomes engagement. The project creates a berm on the right side of the site to protect the building from sound, wind, and sun. The building itself is positioned in the center of the site and is punctured by a courtyard that encloses a garden area. The first floor becomes a C-shape to direct and encourage engagement, while the second floor is a bent bar that emphasizes the northwest corner and provides shading. Located at an intersection, the library design connects to the nearby bike trail and shares parking with the nearby Jones Center: a recreation, community, and event center.
