Liminal Layers   

Spring 2024   ARC 409   Comp. Studio

This Syracuse University library extension intends to function as a series of thresholds to bridge all of the unique aspects of this site. It demarcates an essential entrance into the University for commuting students and visitors. It connects the ever isolated architecture school with the rest of the campus.

 Architecture is continuously misrepresented beyond its field and the notion in this campus is no exception. The design, being a offsetting, or an extrusion, of the South facade of Slocum is a physical extraction the foundations of the profession (library archives) and placing it where it cannot be ignored. The proposed translucent wall series language displays the core aspect of the project (books) and responds to the site by appreciating the advantages of a south facade and creating a permeable footprint to encourage interaction while minimizing obstruction within its surrounding context. The synchronization of the different elements including structure and systems dictates the overall design of the different vertical and liminal operations.
