Library Perspective

The library we visited has a clear sense of public space that gives back to the public. Consequently, the space is used by the public and has become place of activity. Although, it was raining when we visited the site, it was clear that the space has become a place for the community. The transparency of the library allows for a clear connection between the public space and the building. The entrance to the public space, which filters the people under part of the library, gives an idea of procession through the space.

My drawing captures the sense and size of the public space in relation to the library. It also provides context as to where the library is located and the surrounding neighbors. My drawing could better show the transparency of the library’s façade and/or show the entrance to the space. However, I do think that the public space is highly important so I believe it is effective to show the public space in my drawing. More development of the library façade would allow the drawing to be more effective.
