My thesis is focused on creating an opportunity for the exchange and connection between individuals, cultures, communities, and knowledge we gain from one another. Located in the Fargo-Moorhead area, the two cities have a shared history but have expressed their individual identities in community engagement, built landscape, and conservation differently. Through my findings, there are strengths and deficiencies in both cities. By proposing a public library for Moorhead that connects to the Fargo public library. It bridges across the Red River from the cultural hub that is the Hjemkomst Center to the newly developed civic area in Fargo. It will address the programmatic needs of a 21st century library in a digital and physical age. It will also provide a connection to the river for Fargo. As the two cities work towards one another, the area will be strengthened.
