The internal form for this college library is derived from a heat map, where a diagrid layout of 2′ by 2′ grid is superimposed over the heat map and is extruded near the red concentric area.
Extrusions so formed in the floor area, follow a certain hierarchy and are consciously sculpted to create a drama of juxtaposed boxes, transforming them into book shelves cum seating space. Lights emitting from the floor area tries to make the space look floating.
The Mondrian art work is Incorporated in the walls where an array of coloured dummy books (Mondrian colours) are replicated & stacked in the grid to add a character to the library walls.
Natural light crucial to reading mood is incorporated through large floor to ceiling window spanning over the entire longitudinal wall.
The stepped seating within double heighted space along with abundant natural light has been the key design concept for this college library where in it becomes a reader’s sanctuary for the college students.
