Rare Book Library

In this studio 5 final project, Matty Epperly and myself designed a rare book library in Philadelphia. We focused on three initial moves that impacted the massing of the building and our overall design. Additionally, we explored sustainable strategies using CLT, conducting sun studies, as well as using clay walls to allow their hygric mass to regulate the humidity within the building.
