The cross sections aims to show the quality of the spaces inside the building. This section shows the activity happening inside the building in two different wings namely the South Wing and the East Wing. Both of these areas is shown as it is the area of the building that is mainly used for public and social interaction.
Serving as the public realm of the building, these two areas utilizes the connection between outdoors and indoors. The cafe on the South Wing can be opened to the outdoors during sunny days via the opening of revolving doors ( not shown here ).
On the East Wing , I had created an outdoor space using timber ; beams and columns of timber span outside to create a grid like structure which can be used for outdoor activities. This then allows the spaces in the East wing to be connected to the exterior.
This sections shows the West Wing of the building which houses the classrooms for the knowledge market. In here , it is shown that rather than just being classrooms, areas of social interactions has been added to informalise the learning session inside the building.
I also wanted to add small intimate spaces in this area of the building to allow for people to have a bit of privacy in the building. These intimate spaces comes in the form of indents on the wall which doesnt just form on the outer part of the building ( left ) but also inside the building ( right )
SECTIONAL DRAWINGS
The building is has been designed such that it gradually builds up to the North Wing which houses the library. As can be seen from the section below, it shows how the levels keeps increasing as it moves northwards. I did this as to accentuate the prominence of the library but at the same time allow it to work together with the rest of the building rather than overpowering it

In the building , to allow for wind to enter for ventilation, I have decided to employ the usage wind louvres on the windows. This is so that instead of opening the window, air could enter the building through these air louvres
