Library of our times

This was a design proposal for the proposed library at SIM, post Covid, where we questioned the relevance of a physical library when most of the information could be accessed digitally. The library is located right infront of a landscaped garden, and we conceptualised it as a social space which flows from the natural environment. The entire library area is meaningfully zoned, with the social terraces nearer to the entrance, while the quiet individual study carrels are positioned further from the entrance.
