HAROLD WASHINGTON LIBRARY

SCHOOL WORK (GROUP WORK) PUBLIC BUILDING SPRING 2015 CBD STUDIO T h e H a r o l d W a s h i n g t o n L i b r a r y, l o c a t ed in Chicago, Illinois is not favored by most Chicago residents. The library has become a poorly used resource in the m o d e r n d a y, a n d i n o r d e r t o b r i n g t h e public in, the modern day library needs to become a technological hub. In our proposal we decided to completely demolish the existing building, and in its place create an icon - in the form of a s p i r a l r a d i o t o w e r. To c o n f l i c t t h i s s p i r e , on the opposite site, the program breaks up into multiple buildings, creating different elements, and directly links p u b l i c t r a n s p o r t a t i o n t o t h e l i b r a r y.
