Entry Description

The library was designed with the intention of serving as an anchor to community of San Juan and other counties in Puerto Rico while providing the users learning opportunities in a comfortable and versatile space. Diving deep into the purpose of book margins I thought of how much it could reflect in a floor plan as a concept. Margins are not just a simple empty border; they make books perfectly proportioned while making the user focus in the content of the book. The concept "Margins" is incorporated in the space planning, furniture arrangement, and architectural elements.
