Abstract

This thesis, READesign: Architecture that promotes knowledge, will focus on an investigation of the question, how can architecture enhance education and learning. The typology for this examination will be a mixture between a typical library and a mix-use learning facility with a site located in Kansas City, Missouri. The guiding idea behind this investigation is, “why are libraries around the nation fading away.” The justification behind this project is that “libraries house our past, present and future knowledge.” The theoretical premise, unifying idea, and problem statement will be researched in this project through the course of this thesis project.
