competition Designed Public Library
guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
designed for a public library of 2 million volumes and 3 million annual visitors, the design was conceived as the physical manifestation of the library's role as informational, cultural, and urban connection point The criss-crossed floorplan offers simple wayfinding and varied atrium spaces. The copper honeycomb skin offers shifting transparency and shields the glazed facade from solar exposure.
2004 Team Carlos Santoscoy, Lincoln Lighthill, Fernanda Vuilleumier

Statement
Architecture is conditioned by objectivity, by rules, laws; this to explain the order of Urban Planning that is mixed in with the visual language of nature, of transformation, of topography, of climate, of society, of culture, of economy, of politics, of landscape, of planting and laying out; reflected in space and in time. It can be seen as a compendium that takes in architecture, urban planning and environment, made up of communities with a mixture of urban construction and living beings.
Matter, materials, the combination of elements, structure, foundations, installations and everything we call architecture, as well as infrastructure in its geographical exploitation by human evolution, technology and the crowding together of millions and millions of people, turns architecture into a global paradigm. All of this is a way of understanding architecture in its widest sense.
