You're My Type
Research - Academia Thesis Project This project considers and explores how contaminations of 'other' typologies can assist in re-inventing programmatic organization and spatial arrangements. The project investigates how particular strategies of making, influenced by type, can generate new propositions for learning environments and the library. As a testing ground, a generated "what-if" scenario proposes RMIT's first civic-academic library and merges the three existing city libraries (Swanston, Carlton and Business Library). The project attempts to emphasise the informal side of academic life, not as residual but as a central feature of universities. It embraces the collaborative and the informal as the heroic spaces for learning - viewing learning as a social experience and envisioning a speculative library as a highly charged collaborative and informal learning environment, intensifying its communal and social dimension.
