DESIGN CONCEPT
My concept is the study of weaving. Weaving has many interpretations. By weaving different patterns one could create either tight or wide opening that either could mean a difference in material or the use of an area.








SITE
I have chosen to work on the Brooklyn Site
I think this site works best with my library concept
