Adjaye Associates has unveiled the proposal for its new project which includes a library and an event center. The project will reside at the City of Winter Park in Florida, and it has been lately approved by the city council.
The project will cost 30 million dollars and will include three pavilions which are regarded by the designers as a ?micro-village?. Although the three pavilions will be assigned for different purposes, the design unites them all. The design features structural arches which relate, not only to the wildlife in the area, but also to the folk architecture, the big windows, and the vaulted roofs. All these items create homogeneity as well as permit daylight to shower the interiors. Courtesy of Adjaye Associates
?Our goal is to create a vibrant community village that engages the beauty of the park, maximizes social interactive spaces and holds collaborative learning and education at its core,? Adjaye commented. ?I am thrilled that Winter Park has embraced our vision, which is truly about celebrating the city?s heritage and preparing for its future.?
The library pavilion will have an area of 39,456 square feet, while the event center pavilion will spread across an area of 12,604 square feet. The third pavilion will be designated for welcoming visitors. The three structures will share a platform which provides views of the nearby lake and augments the interaction with the park and the outdoor areas.
