Description
Architectural design is a largely subjective process that is best illustrated using a “casebook” approach. In this course the “case” is libraries. This discussion provides guidance for development of library facilities appropriate to support various library operations. This information may be used by architects, engineers, designers, and others involved in the development and approval of library construction projects. It is intended to help all participants better understand library requirements, programs, and design criteria so they can effectively participate in the project development process. This course is not intended to provide all of the information needed to identify project requirements or successfully prepare project designs. Additional information on the unique program and design requirements of projects must be obtained.
