The Library Pavilion Project
Chinatown, Boston, MA
The Assignment
Advertisement
We were asked to design a proposal for a library pop-up to be installed in Boston’s Chinatown for the spring and summer months. The pavilion would hold a small collection of physical and/or digital media. The pavilion design must follow some criteria. It must have shelter from weather, secure storage for a collection, a small information desk, and seating for about 20 visitors. We were ask to deliver an analytical diagram, a set of plans, a section drawing, an axonometric drawing, a perspective view, and a physical scale model.
My Design
As I explored Chinatown, I noticed how many people were moving in and out of shops and restaurants, going to and from work, or just lounging on park benches or green spaces. I decided to express this observation in my design and program. I expressed this element with the use of curves that pull people into the library but also create spaces for people to read, work, or just lounge.
