The Knoxville Library project was designed in my 3rd year of architecture school. The main book stack portion of the library was oriented to create a continuous street frontage elevation and at the same time putting the program of the building on display to the public. This section of the building was actually imagined as a large scale set of book shelves. This portion of the building was largely glass w/ louvers on the exterior to protect the books from sun damage. Behind the main book stacks on the site is the "academic village" composed of reading rooms and auditorium space. The two smaller pods are reading and class space for young adults and children. The larger football shaped pod contains the adult reading areas, study spaces, and auditorium on the ground floor. This monolithic concrete structure was situated to sit in a reflecting pool that provided unique lighting conditions on the interior.

Can you imagine hosting an event or exhibition here, or filming some scenes, or performing music or theatre?
Many large and small rooms are actively seeking programming proposals.
