Omaha : the library redefined : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

Architectural design is work that can be deeply rooted within community. Architects inspire, suggest, and bring to life wonderful ideas that shape the environment around us. Often, they work with clients representing the public's interest for projects such as civic buildings, schools, churches, and performance halls. One public building type that is particularly interesting today is the library. These sources of information are becoming obsolete as technology-based learning takes precedence in the United States. Useful libraries need to be designed for the future of learning. As a student of architecture I chose to study exactly what this entails. The following pages explain my exploration of this concept, combined with design issues pertaining to site specificity. The result is a theoretical design proposal for a future library on a chosen site.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
