Professor Peter Zuspan

Using the program and site analysis from the midterm, a proposal was designed to utilize and exploit the peer pressure created in the library in a positive manner. Through books that could be removed or rearranged on the shelves, users can organize and occupy each reading room according to their own personal study habits and desires. The entire proposal is designed to encourage users to utilize the social system of the peer pressure, in addition to responding to the unique built environment and circulation of Barnard College. In addition, the proposal adds green space as well as performance space, which is limited on campus.
