For the final project, I will be applying Digital Project to my final Studio assignment for this semester. The assignement requires us (3G3) to design a library in Chicago. For this assignment, I will be looking at turning books into CMU blocks. The design of the library will be built upon the use of these blocks, as well as having a series of cavities for th ebooks to sit in (outside) until they are moved into the book crusher. The combination of books and bricks will dictate the skin of the library. As of now, I have a basic Rhino model of the outdoor stacks, but I have not begun design of the primary library structure, which will house a community center, auditorium, and office space.
Examining the modularity of block, as well of book shelving/the books themselves will be of the most importance. Since the blocks will be manufactured on my site, they do not have to be the classic 8x8x16 that a typical CMU is cast to.
