This project intends to keep in line with these ideals, respecting and providing better access to the existing library and the remarkable features of the site. The addition shall be a fluid public building whose sole purpose is to provide access to all aspects of the library, its patrons and the site.

access:space By concentrating the resources for the subject areas with the wall of books the total quantity of the space needed would be much less. The money saved can be put towards providing the best quality of space by extending a spine along the observatory hill. This will also help reactivate Asplunds plan and concentrate more attention on the reflecting pool and the natural features of the site. As proposed, the total MUA for the building including the Asplund library is 23,600 sq.m.

access:knowledge As opposed to isolating each subject in the library the media is arranged by subject in six walls of books concentrated in the center of the new extension library. The subject materials will be arranged vertically by media type subsequently the subjects will share resources for combined benefit. For instance the digital media is located at the top of the wall,, therefore the fourth floor of the library will have media rooms, listening booths and computers to accomodate this media.

access:virtual

At each entrance to the library there would be placed a touch screen system which would make facilitate library operations. The software would also have a voluntary friends networking system similar to myspace. Youth would be able to use the library as an actual space to meet as people from the virtual.
