15. ABOUT
The Metaphor Of A Tree House Was
Invoked From The Onset Of Design
Conceptualization To Create An
Environment For Learning Via A
Journey Of Discovery And Play. The
Use Of Skylights, Trellises And
Colored Glass Transforms Incoming
Daylight Into A Myriad Of Shades
And Colors, Creating An Intriguing
Dappled Light Quality Within The
Library That Simulates Light Filtered
Through The Foliage Of Trees.
20. ABOUT
Libraries In Japan Are Moving
Towards A Model That
Encourages Readers To Stay
And Linger, Instead Of Their
Original Function As Spaces For
Collecting And Lending Out
Books. Reflecting The General
Trend For Libraries To Facilitate
Reading As Well As Other
Functions, This Library Uses
Compact Automated Shelves
That Operate As A Closed
Stack System
