Welcome to my theoretical design blog. I am Roman Derkacz,  an architectural technology student at New York City College of Technology. This blog will give you the opportunity to follow the development of my theoretical design. 

Building Analysis Seattle Public Library

Architect:   Rem Koolhaas

Location:   Seattle,Washington

Year:          2004

My goal for working with the library typology, is to create a space that optimizes the present needs of libraries. With all new emerging technologies it is important to incorporate those in building design to keep libraries interesting for the general public. Some of the elements I want to include in my design are, media labs(including photo, movie and record editing) meeting spaces for communal exchange and a cafe.  

These are the examples I will be researching:

Seattle Public Library/Seattle, Washington

Municipal Library/ Dortmund, Germany

Exeter Library/ Exeter, New Hampshire

Winnipeg Library/Winnipeg, Canada

University of Poznan Library/ Poznan, Poland

National Technical Library in Prague/Prague, Czech Republic

Library of Birmingham/ Birmingham, UK

University Library Utrecht/Utrecht, Netherlands

Chongqing Library/Chongqing, China

National Taichung Digital Library/Taichung, Taiwan
