Spectrum Library was a renovation proposal for the VCUarts Qatar Library. The aim was to generate a transitional and inclusive space shaping the end user's experience and actions in the different locations based on the idea of a spectrum. 

​

The concept of the spectrum emerged after conducting first hand research across the library and university campus in efforts to accumulate a database of the different working needs and preferences of the student and faculty body. The diversity of the results is then presented in the form of multiple spectrums. Starting off at one opposite point and flowing through to the other resulting in a spatial spectrum. Below are some examples:

​

LOUD  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  QUIET

OPEN  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  CLOSED

EXTROVERTED  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  INTROVERTED

PUBLIC -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  PRIVATE

VIBRANT  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  SUBTLE
