Mega Experiment Initiative


Shapes, Layering, Volumetric, Façade and Material explorations.



An exploration of a design concept for a public library, inspired by the Metropol Parasol in Seville, Spain, with an emphasis on porosity. The intervention site is located in Charleston, South Carolina. The concept of such experimental design comes from the idea of movement of two vastly different mediums colliding with each other. The experimentation follows the orthogonal façade colliding with the main ribbed skin. The library’s program is contained within the interior, with the ribs acting as a secondary façade, not only enabling light to penetrate, but patrons at specific entries.
