Program: the mediatheque’s façade is indiscreet, correlating to its accessible and free design

Presentation Poster

Structural Susceptibility: the steel slab articulates the geometric influence of components to the whole

De-materialization of structure: designed to be light and transparent, columns divorce their steel materiality

Façade thermal control: the double-skin enclosure is versatile, acting as either a heat blanket or cool air passage for thermal comfort

Abstraction by tectonic concealment: by obstructing views to joinery, the concept retains its abstract qualities

Mass: the layering of elements extend the compositional relations to make an open and light building.

Materiality by function: the west façade expresses the public and private narratives of the building through its materials

Fluidity of the threshold: the flexible ground façade blurs the boundary of architecture and the society that inhabits

Circulation Density Flow: the open flow leaves the columns to create variable densities rather than specified programmatic localities

Expression of Form from Context: opposing the cultural rigidity, the site’s context extends into the biometric form of the structure
