FALL 2013
The competition introduced Kawneer Products that could be utilized as a part of the new generation of architecture. Albuquerque, NM was chosen by the team as the location for the implementation of a new library design. The site offers views towards the mountains and gives the users a scenery like no other.

As we look at the future we must take note of innovative designs and introduce them to the public as a way to 'progress'.

The Precipice implements a new system which enables users to allocate one another based on topics of discussion within the building. It takes tablets as the new source of study in libraries, offering faster information.
