Common Ground Library

Project Description

Common ground is necessary for civil discourse within a larger community. Libraries, as a specimen of common ground, must also be responsible for exposing their constituents to the tomes necessary for a broad and balanced worldview. In this proposal, the spiral is both the main course of circulation as well as the stack that holds books belonging to the curated canon. Canonical books from each genre and subject are arranged from A to Z according to the Library of Congress’ classification system, and further reading materials and reading spaces are distributed tangentially from the spiral around the building’s perimeter.
