ARCHITECT: Adjaye Associates
Located in Johannesburg, the Thabo Mbeki Presidential Library is a space of excellence, learning, research, discourse and cultural exchange predicated on the African perspective.
CONCEPT: take consideration of solar orientation of light
MATERIALITY: sustainable aspect
- Each dome will be made from rammed earth
- 5,400-square-metre
- The mud used to build the rammed earth structures will all be sourced locally in an attempt to help reduce the library’s embodied carbon footprint.

Precedent Analysis
The Museum of Archaeology in Sero’s structure is made up of a concrete skeleton frame that is lined with red brickwork. The design exhibits the significance of materiality through the usage of brick through the shell and framework of the structure itself. With pavings made of bricks and brick chippings, the museum’s form reveals the significance of materiality and its integration with its surrounding conditions and landscape.

The library is deisgned in Cass Park site located near a lake. I wanted to preserve the site’s natural beauty and views, the concept follows on an elevated library structure supported by columns. This design not only minimizes the building’s impact on the site but also helps with the prevention of lake water overflow. The building’s form follows a 4-foot grid and includes a central courtyard and diagonal balconies that direct views towards the lake. The exterior walls of the facade feature a brick pattern that controls the amount of light allowed in, while private spaces have a different brick pattern with vertical holes. The building’s program is organized into various areas, including general services, collections, educational services, administration and support spaces, community areas, mechanical spaces, vertical access circulation, and outdoor spaces. The exterior facade walls material is brick. The structural material used in construction is concrete for the floor slab, roof, and structure. The curved roof design allows for sunlight and rainfall, creating a waterfall effect in the central courtyard. Overall, your design provides a functional and visually appealing space that is in harmony with its natural surroundings.

Ultimately lowered a bit with the site EUI to 427.1 kWh/m2/a and the price set to $24.60. The Operational carbon lowered from 350 kgCO2eqv to 300 kgCO2eqv The base material is Brick with a conductivity of 0.25 m and the Insulation board with conductivity of 0.3 m In the second iteration, changed the material to Gypsum Board with conductivity of 0.16 m and kept the same insulation cellular polyurethane at 0.2409. It ultimately lowers the site EUI to 381.9 kWh/m2/a and the price set to $22.30 AIA EUI: 587.6 kWhm/m2/yr Site EUI: 305.4 kWh/m2/yr Oper. Carbon: 67.4 kgCO2/m2/yr Cost: 17 $/m2/yr The heat pump is assumed to help lower the energy consumption, which in this case it did changed 76 kWh/m2/yr F na Conc u ion The chart shows the EUI changes from the three iterations. The building EUI site decreased from 508 kWh/m2/yr to 103 kWh/m2/yr making it a 79.72% change. The overall carbon is reduced with power consumption and materiality.
