A public library must do more than house books; it must absorb systems, shape behavior, and resist obsolescence. In dense urban contexts, buildings are no longer discrete objects, but layered networks of regulation and response.
Fire codes, structural spans, HVAC zoning, and accessibility do not follow architecture; they precede it. To design a library is to navigate a web of mechanical and structural logics without losing clarity or atmosphere. At the same time, sustainability demands more than gestures; it requires embedded strategies and lasting performance.
Louvers must not just express rhythm, but manage light. Roofs must not only shed water, but collect energy.
In this context, architecture is not an imposition, but an orchestration; of systems, flows, and civic intent. This project begins with that orchestration, asking how architecture can emerge from constraint, not despite it.
