The brief asked us to build upon the bookshelves designed earlier in the semester to create a bus-stop library. Using the same joint logic developed in my earlier work, I designed glass columns that suspend a copper roof. Through the integration of pressed glass and copper connections, I developed a multifaceted bookshelf module capable of aggregating in multiple directions. The site selection of Bolt Hall on West Campus informed the project’s spatial strategy. An analysis of pedestrian and bus traffic shaped the placement and orientation of the structure. The roof extends into the main entrance avenues to create a welcoming and visible presence. The original bookshelf module was refined and scaled to establish a consistent design language across the bus stop, informing the benches, structural elements, and book storage areas. The glass columns extend through the roof plane, allowing light to flood the space below and creating the illusion of a floating glass canopy.  In collaboration with Zekai Lin, I designed and fabricated a modular bookshelf that treats the book as the primary client. The system’s modularity allows it to exist in multiple orientations, encouraging playful interpretations of how books are stored, displayed, and accessed. Tasked with working in pressed aluminum and loam, we leveraged the lightness and flexibility of aluminum to form continuous curves that define the shelf geometry. Loam was used as a keystone element, anchoring the system and holding the structure in equilibrium.
