Abstract
This thesis study will explore how the redevelopment
of a branch library in a vibrant area of a city can not only
strengthen the urban fabric but also breed interaction
and facilitate the spread of knowledge though discussion
along with the collection of information already within the
library. The WALKER COMMUNITY LIBRARY located
in Uptown, MN, will be redeveloped from its underground
state to embrace the 3D nature of the city, housing functions
both above and below street level. The proposed library will
change from its original state of approximately 20,000 s.f.
to almost 30,000 s.f.
