The city library's designs create an atmosphere for pondering. When my group arrived, our task seemed strangely out of place. We were coming to the library to study the library, not other knowledge. As a result, we felt like we were disrupting the activities of other people there. However, we developed a braoder view of this amazing library.
People of every background can come to the library to study. The library serves a definable purpose for many. For the aspiring intellectual it is a building of unlimited possibilities, for the student it is a quiet place to study, and for the homeless it is a place of refuge. The majority of the
people we saw there were minorities. The people we saw needed a computer and some place where they could access knowledge. These people communicated formally in English when it was absolutely necessary. They were most often in pairs or by themselves. The six of us were the largest group and the most talkative group. The children’s section, however, revealed a slightly different variety of people. Here we saw families and groups of children quieting each other as they communicated. They were attempting to abide the social laws of the library and be quiet and respectful of others, yet they were still discovering the social rules. Overall, the people here had come to admire the learning and writing of others. They had come for quiet and introspective study. As a result, their social interactions demonstrated their purpose.
The library’s atmosphere is uniquely designed to welcome quiet introspection from every person. The windows offer plenty of sunlight for optimal study and numerous quiet quaint corners for optimal thought abound. As my group entered the library, I was struck by the sounds and smells of the place. I felt extremely at home and happy. The sound of pages turning and comfortably quiet silence filled the air. Moreover, noises from outside were dampened to make one feel that one was stepping out of the world. The architecture of the
library itself was awe-inspiring. The building seemed huge to me, and yet small at the same time. It was littered with little nooks to do one's studying and quiet pondering. I longed to sit down in many places with a good book and stay for hours. Yet the architecture seemed to ask me to explore it with my eyes. Whoever designed it was a genius. The library was a place of study and yet was worthy of studying itself.
The method of organization and communication between the library and people was interesting. Signs and other postings gave us a good idea of what to do and where to go. The children’s section was the most interesting; it communicated extremely visually with few words. Little caves
and other entertaining crannies were abundant and fun to explore. This section also had a lot of large stuffed animals of strange varieties and other odd yet entertaining things related to what that particular section of books was about. This public place is open to all ages and classes of people with the common desire to learn.
