Introductory statement
The Immersion Process
The Immersion Process is an overwhelming introduction into architecture – it’s the creation of a
library through the utilization of a basic level of knowledge concerning the vast concept itself.
Specifically, this design process reflects the activities undertaken in a traditional library, and their
similarities – and differences – to activities undertaken in parks. This concept materializes into the
built form, primarily focusing on the line that divides what it means to be a park, and what it means
to be a library. This line then folds, extrudes, and directs – signifying a library and its realm of
urbanity, and a park and it’s dominion within nature.

Limited reaction to interior daylight. This section of the building served as a
fire station garage area.
The living quarters of the
original fire station, large
windows facing to the west
bring in evening daylight, but
only during summer months.
