This project was developed as a proposal for a contest for the remodeling of the existing building of the “Universidad de las Americas Library” in collaboration with JAR Architects.

THE CONCEPT

BECOMING THE HEART OF THE CAMPUS

The main objective of the proposal is to situate the library as the heart of the campus and the student’s life, for such effect, a series of structural and formal re-organization operations will take effect, in a way that will transform the building into a programmatic hybrid.

The idea is to re-signify the role of the building, so it becomes a true epicenter due to not only its location but also, and more importantly, for the opportunity that it will provide for each member of the community to feel identified, and well-received in this heart of the campus; in a building proposal that is compatible with the university values: liberty with responsibility, tolerance, no discrimination, honesty, integrity, solidarity, and transparency.
