masterplan + proposed seating device
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The existing layout is filled with isolated spaces that prevent flow and connection throughout the community. Its disconnected plan creates a feeling of loneliness for the visitors because of the lack of connections through the overall site.

ARCHIVE LIBRARY FOR ARTISTS BOOKS
ARCHIVE LIBRARY FOR ARTISTS BOOKS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This library is a depository for a special collection book made by visiting SCAD studio artists. The books are essentially a gift for the Lacoste community and future SCAD scholars. The books in this library are never checked out. Thus, the building is a library ‘unique’, and in some ways both modern and historic in function. Books varying in size and interacting with the books should be a space of celebration and generational exchange.
