Dan Nduka | Library project
LEST WE REMEMBER
The objective of this project is to design a library to serve the community of Liverpool, specifically the Vauxhall area. My project explores the relationship between place and memory, focusing on how that interplay deteriorates as the built environment decays. This is epitomised in the choice to use a site with an abandoned building. The intervention largely manifests as a system of internal walkways and facade retention which permeate through existing openings on the facade, allowing the occupants to coexist with the original facade, where their memories of the building tend to reside.
Development of individual volumes based on exploration of memories of the existing facade features as well as decayed architectural forms
