Kathryn Stankus – Conceptual Design
Phase 1
Initial Concept Design
In thinking about our project from a large scale approach, I attempted to develop schemes that would expound upon the ideas of interaction and monumentality.

Conceptual Design Phase 1
Concept 1
For this concept, I want to create a building scheme which both includes interior space and outdoor landscape.
Conceptual Design II- Steven
Concept 1: Angle, Contour, Segment, Rise, Wing, Slope
Site 3
I developed this design from Concept 1 of the concept design I review. I focused on designing the form and space of the building in a specific location that best fits the topography and landscape of the chosen site. I build over the slight slope of the ravine that runs through site 3. This would allow the water to pass beneath the split that happens between the past and present sections of the proposed building. This site specific design would respond to the landscape of Meadowcroft and the river flowing beneath the building would help in the feeling of transition between all three spaces as visitors navigate through the building.

Given a 10,000 years span, the library we design is not only about future, it is about us, about our knowledge … and about our existence. Continue reading FOREST|CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Conceptual Design – Phase I & II
Library Design Concept
Conceptual Design Phase I is concentrated on the basic mass of the early idea also relate to the theme about the past, present and future.
Conceptual Design
Phase I
Making the first conceptual models I mostly thought about “time”, “site” and creating a relationship between the two and the building. By looking at the architecture of the past, I tried to imagine how a building in the site, might look like several years from now. And what type of message it would convey.
I imagined that the building could be embedded in the site in way like it has been carved from it. Or it considering the slope of the site, and continuity of time it could have a rising, continuous, evolving and fluid form.

Part Three:
Design One continued to examine the idea of blocks interlocking to create the architecture, but this iteration returned to my original design but on a much smaller scale. Continue reading Conceptual Design

Theme: Library For The Past, Present, & Future
I began thinking about the design for the library by re-reading the article The Clock Of The Long Now. The article explains that, “The point of the Clock of the Long Now is not to measure out the passage, into their unknown future, of the race of creatures that built it. The point of the Clock is to revive and restore the whole idea of the Future, to get us thinking about the Future again, to the degree if not in quite the way same way that we used to do, and to reintroduce the notion that we don’t just bequeath the future—though we do, whether we think about it or not. We also, in the very broadest sense of the first person plural pronoun, inherit it.”
