Site locations is given at a proposing development area which is located on with one of the busiest street that connect the residential area to the stadium arenas in Arlington, Texas.

At the development area, there will be a proposing public park with underground parking for new proposing high-rise buildings for office and residential.

The sun path will be at the South direction and the highest tempature in the day will be from 2-4:00 PM. Winds are mostly coming from the South and South-East direction all year long

Within two given possible site for the library, building in site number 1 will get least amount of facade that will gain heat from the sun from the South side and able to use the new proposing high-rise as a shade for the afternoon sunlight from the West.

Because the site is longitudinal so the longest side of the building will be facing the south direction and will gain a lot of heat from the sun in the afternoon.

Both buildings have full visibility from these adjacent towers located next to the park but the street at the site will make a disconnection from the site 2 to the public park, while the building in site number 1 will allow visitor to be connected with the nature from the Library.

Building in site number 1 will be more visible to visitor from the high-way and it is easier to attract people to the site than building in site number 2.

The library is the place of freedom, where we can chose of what to learn, to read, and to be ourself.

The library is the same as our own house, where we can feel comfortable to imagine and to create extraordinary ideas.

Treating the adjacent park as the front yard of the library, where we can gather and enjoy social life.

By using a framed concrete fence wall to create an isolated backyard that allow us to concentrate on our study.
