Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate planning processes for academic library buildings and the outcomes of such processes. This is accomplished through a case study utilising discourse analysis. The main question is: How is a vision of an academic library implemented in and through a building? The case study is retrospective and focused on the building of a newlibrary at Kalmar University, Sweden, at the end of the 1990s. During this period, technological and educational developments and general societal change transformed the context of library planning and made way for renegotiations of the librarian profession.A critical realist approach characterises the study of visions, processes and the analysis of the various functions of the building. Results reveal the proactive nature of the activities of thelibrary director in Kalmar. Early in the process he formulated a vision in which he presents the library as an information resource, a meeting place between different user groups and a workplace intended to promote learning and knowledge. From a professional point of view, the vision implied a dehierarchisation of relations both within the library staff and between library staff and visitors. The vision was based on an interpretation of Swedish national educational policy, and architecturally manifested by an ambition to reduce the physical and psychologicalboundaries between library staff and visitors. The early formulation of the visiontogether with the clients’ use of architectural expertise facilitated the choice of architects.However during the process a need arose to anchor the decision in the library field. Efforts were made to address library expertise and to collect user comments from a broader academic field. Discourses concerning the university library as a workplace and a meeting place wereespecially evident in the strategies of the leading agents. The discourses uncovered in the study correspond to more general discourses which became prominent in society and higher education during the period in question. The library itself has met growing appreciation by users both from within and outside the university.The proactive leadership demonstrated by the library director in Kalmar was based on hegemony rather than coercion. This corresponds to contemporary tendencies. Hegemonic consent may persist even after changes in leadership. In Kalmar however, architectural solutions with insufficient support from the library staff have been reconstructed after changes in leadership.Future research on architectural planning processes may pay further attention to different discursive resources, social fields and the positions within them.Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Göteborgs universitet för vinnande av doktorsexamen framläggs till offentlig granskning klockan 13.15 fredagen den 4 december 2009 i sal D207, Högskolan i Borås, Allégatan 1

Full textAbstract:
Wayfinding is the process of using one or more tools to move from one location to another in order to accomplish a task or to achieve a goal. This qualitative study explores the process of wayfinding as it applies to locating information in a public library. A group of volunteers were asked to find a selection of items in three types of libraries-traditional, contemporary, and modern. The retrieval process was timed and the reactions of the volunteers were recorded, documented, and analyzed. The impact of various wayfinding tools-architecture, layout, color, signage, computer support, collection organization-on the retrieval process was also identified. The study revealed that many of the wayfinding tools currently available in libraries do not facilitate item retrieval. Inconsistencies, ambiguities, obstructions, disparities, and operational deficiencies all contributed to end-user frustration and retrieval failure. The study suggests that failing to address these issues may prompt library patrons-end users who are increasingly interested in finding information with minimal expenditures of time and effort-may turn to other information-retrieval strategies and abandon a system that they find confusing and frustrating.

Full textAbstract:
A large part of research about libraries and library buildings in Sweden has been focused on how the building looks not how it functions with the library. The aim with this master’s thesis is to study how a library building is functioning and how its users are experiencing it. This is studied in three libraries, Kungliga tekniska högskolans bibliotek, Sambiblioteket in Härnösand and Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek. With the questions of how they were planed, what did the libraries want from the new building and which of these demands were realized. The theory and method will are inspired from Daniel Koch and Inger Bergström.I have visited these libraries and also have read the few published articles about them. I have, too, interviewed librarians and users in the libraries. These libraries have all established a new library building in the 2100th century. The study shows that is not always easy to build a new library. There are a lot of actors involved in the planning, and that effects how the library will function in the building as well how the users move within and experience the room.

Full textAbstract:
The usage of the paired terms of denotation and connotation are one means by which language provides for the declarative knowing of all things; denotation is a naming by means of indication, whereas connotation is that which incites the specificity of meaning to a particular thing. Where the denotative assumes a recessive posturing of a formal ambiguity, the connotative proceeds towards a greater clarity with the intention of potential certainty and separateness in meaning. In the same manner as with language, the denotative in architecture responds to the elemental analogue operatively as a background within a field of signification, whereas the connotative responds to the elemental analogue exemplifying an objectification through categorical distinction.
The use of the term denotation as the title of this exploration is to instate the accompanying text within the resonance of the denotative background in an attempt to circumvent a connotative, architectural objectification, at times operating under the guise of evidential justification. This circumvention, by means of the denotative positioning, is not meant as a vindication of the architectural object; rather, it is meant as a critique of the autonomy of the object and the foreground that it inhabits. This use of denotative background (not as a dialectical or teleological response to the connotative object) is to provide for an ungrounding in the work to the primacy of object as architectural edification.Master of Architecture

Architecture is experience.
Man experiences the Architecture within which he lives, works, plays and worships. As a necessity this experience must include a successful response to the needs of its inhabitants in order to fulfill its stated and intended purposes. In this sense man experiences his Architecture in the physical realm of its existence. Yet Architecture is an experience of the spirit. Architecture, through its presence, must elevate man, beyond the physical sense, and strive to glorify the inner being.
In the opening section of this thesis I will briefly examine a few ancient ruins in an effort to explore the spiritual nature of Architecture. Following this exploration I will then move into the design portion of the thesis. The project is a theological library and scholar’s complex located on Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
O conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável tem sido discutido nos setores da sociedade, buscando uma visão abrangente e integrada das melhorias e soluções para os crescentes problemas ambientais, sociais e econômicos. Como resultado, profissionais envolvidos com projetos de instituições de ensino superior vêm discutindo a inserção de práticas que minimizem os impactos gerados por suas construções de bibliotecas, principalmente quando é necessário estabelecer uma relação entre o edifício, a saúde dos ocupantes e a qualidade das atividades desempenhadas. Nesse sentido os sistemas de avaliação ambiental vêm sendo difundidos no Brasil, e por meio desses procura-se a conscientização quanto aos impactos ambientais gerados pelos edifícios durante as fases de planejamento, construção e operação. No entanto, o que incorporar como práticas que visem à sustentabilidade em projetos de bibliotecas universitárias? Para responder a esse questionamento, este trabalho utilizou-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica para o levantamento dos conceitos considerados inerentes ao tema, assim como análise de projetos dentro da área em questão com princípios de sustentabilidade. Igualmente, foram estudados os critérios atuais presentes nos sistemas de avaliação ambiental, dentre os quais foram aprofundados o LEED, o AQUA - HQE e o PBE - Edifica. Através dessa análise, foram identificados os parâmetros utilizados de maneira que auxiliassem na proposição de diretrizes e, por meio de questionário aplicado aos usuários das bibliotecas da Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), buscou-se um aprofundamento das questões que implicam a qualidade desses espaços, verificando a incorporação de critérios, bem como as variáveis que fazem parte do processo de projeto. Finalmente, através dos conceitos apresentados ao longo do trabalho e do estudo das condicionantes, chegou-se à proposição das diretrizes, as quais visam orientar os arquitetos a incorporar os conceitos de sustentabilidade no planejamento e projetos de arquiteturas de bibliotecas universitárias.The concept of sustainable development has been widely discussed in many sectors of society, aiming an integrated and comprehensive vision of improvements and solutions for the growing environmental, social and economic problems. As a result, professionals, working with projects in higher education institutions, have been discussing the inclusion of practices that minimize the impact caused by the construction of their own libraries, especially when it is necessary to establish a connection between the edification, the occupant health and the quality of performed activities. In this regard, the environmental assessment systems have been widespread in Brazil and through those we seek to raise awareness related to the environmental impact made by the buildings during the stages of planning, construction and operation. However, what incorporate as practices aimed at sustainability in university libraries Projects? To answer this, it was made a literature review to find the concepts inherent to the university libraries theme, as well as was analyzed projects within the area in question with greater sustainability features. Also, the current sustainability criteria presented in the evaluation systems were analyzed, among which were detailed LEED, AQUA-HQE and PBE-Edifica. Through this analysis we identified the parameters used in a way to assist in a proposition of sustainability guidelines and using a survey applied to the library users of the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), we sought a deepening of the issues that imply the quality of these spaces by checking the incorporation of sustainability criteria as well as the variables that are part of the project process. Ultimately, through the ideas presented throughout the work, along with the study of conditions, we came to the proposition of guidelines for incorporating sustainability concepts in planning and architecture projects of university libraries.

The Indiana State Library and Historical Building, constructed in 1934, is an
outstanding example of stripped classicism and Art Deco. The ornament on both the
exterior and interior of the limestone structure portray the regional story of the
development of Indiana. The monumental building is the most well‐known work by
Indianapolis architectural firm Pierre and Wright. Little has been written on the
Indiana State Library and Historical Building and a comprehensive architectural
history has never before been compiled on this remarkable building.
The subject of research pertains to the original building only. Investigation
examines the architectural competition for the design, the construction process, the
numerous carvings, large stained glass windows, and four murals, and the
symbolism in the ornament of the Indiana State Library and Historical Building.
Through research at the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives and
using both primary and secondary resources, the motivation for much of the
ornament was discovered. Additionally, long forgotten details and symbolism were
recovered.
This research provides insight into the narrative as told by the architecture
and ornament of the building. It may assist in the research on the 1976 addition and
the 2002 renovation that has yet to be completed. Furthermore, it will likely aid in
future renovations and restorations of the building.Introduction -- Methodology -- Literature review -- A brief history -- The competition -- The architects -- Construction -- Materials -- Architectural style -- Exterior sculpture -- Leon Hermant sculptures -- Interior material -- Interior features and symbols -- Stained glass windows -- Murals -- J.

Full textAbstract:
The hybrid nature of the building's program became the central idea behind the design of the project.
The combination of office, retail and library funcions was an attempt to investigate the possibility of integrating
a public amenity space directly within a private building. The implication of such a collision of uses
was not only the potential for public cost savings and the promotion of public construction, but as well a
possibility of the creation of a symbiotic relationship between these two forces. The private spaces of the
building could make use of some of the public, while the public spaces could make use of some of the
private.
The project took on a diagramatic and absract nature early on, detatched architecturally somewhat
from surrounding site conditions in order to investigate the possibilities of connecting and overlapping the
building's public and private uses. An early series of diagrams and sectional sketches began to shape the
building in its beginning. The three major elements of the program (office, library and retail) were initially
separated vertically in space. The retail occupied the ground floor, the library the second, and the offices the
final and third. However, the idea of interrelation of the spaces required a greater extent of overlapping and
mixture. Thus, the strategy of a split-level shceme started to emerge. The three separations remained
somewhat intact, however separated by intermittent split levels. These split levels contained spaces which
could relate to either the floor directly above or below. The idea was that these 'shared' spaces could contain
elements of the program which could be used by both library and retail, or by both office and library. The net
result was a 'saving' of space, as well as a mixing of public and private functions.
Yet, with the mixing of public and private uses came the architectural issue of building security. How
could a public book enter and leave a retail store? How could a private office be contained from public
access? Would the separate retail units truly relate with the library space? Were there more possibilies for
more double uses?
The library took on the role of both public amenity and private retail enterprise at this point in the
project. The move seemed to satisfy both issues of security and interrelationship between public and private
functions. The security system of the library would double as the cash desk; the library stacks would contain
both borrowable books and commercial retail goods for consumption; the seating for the library would also
provide for the in-house cafe-bar; library staff would also function as staff for the shared smaller offices on
the second floor. In this sense, the combination of private and public functions not only reduced the need for
excess (publically funded) space, but aslo presented the idea of a saving of maintenance and operational
costs.
The location of the building in Whistler village was done for two main reasons: the town, at present,
is currently without a permanent library for a rapidly growing full-time population; and the town, as a resort
municipality, relies heavily on its commercial activity in order to energize its main, public pedestrian outdoor
mall. The specific site of the building was a point in the village which related both directly to this
pedestrian mall as well as an adjacent shopping centre, intended for the vehicular traffic and use of the more
full-time residents of Whistler Village. Here the full time residents coming in to use the library could
perhaps discover its second commercial nature, while tourists may make use of the public use of the building
while going in soley to shop. The building would then be a place where both full-time residents and incidental
tourists could both come, interacting within the same building for an array of different reasons.
Architecturally, the building was a modest success: the issue of security had been adressed and overlapping
of private and public functions was explored in the building. However, the notion that a library
would become a highly commercial retailer still seemed improbable; even in an age of decreasing government
spending and reliance upon the private sector for public services, the difficulty in motivating a traditionally
public sector into an entrepreneurially self-sustaining enterprise prevented the likelihood of its
construction.

D.Litt. et Phil. (Library and Information Science)Since the first library building was built in 1900 at the University of Stellenbosch no scientific study of library buildings as seen from the viewpoint of the librarian in the RSA has been done. No South African criteria for libraries at tertiary institutions exist, but SAPSE building norms have been available since the late seventies. The shift of priority from merely collecting information to providing information and updating developments in information and telecommunication technology, have resulted in the philosophy of the library building being adapted. With the primary problem area of the study being the functionality of the modern library building, in the RSA, the research area was defined according to period, type of library building and kind of institution. This study covers the period 1946 through 1983. A thorough literature study on the planning of libraries overseas and in the RSA has been conducted. The type of libraries analised in this study are the main library buildings at universities, teacher training colleges and technikons in use at the end of 1983. Eighteen university library buildings, nineteen teacher training college library buildings and seven technikon library buildings were considered. Each library has been visited and personal interviews were conducted with heads of libraries and senior members of the staff. The personal interview was supplemented by a structured questionnaire dealing with the history, planning, functional areas and the influence of technology on the building. This was completed during the interview. One university library did not occupy a planned library building in 1983. Two universities built two new main library buildings during the period thirteen universities built one each, while one expanded in linear fashion through several academic departments. At teacher training colleges ten new main libraries were constructed, one library was housed in a converted hall and eight were in temporary facilities. Three technikon libraries were in converted halls, three in temporary facilities and one in a library building which was built in 1923...

The diploma thesis deals with unrealised projects of new buildings or refurbishments of libraries in the Czech Republic. It is notionally split into two parts. The theoretical part contains the reasons, why to build library buildings today and actual requierements on these specific kind of buildings. The most important czech and foreign documents on this topic are presented. One specific part is dealing with funding of library high-priced projects and also examples of successfull projects. The main focus of work is a summary of six public libraries focussed on their poor space conditions. After this, gathered data are equated with each other, with recommended values in Standard of Public Information Library Services and with comparable data of libraries placed in new or reconstructed buildings. In conclusion, the author questions subjectively the future of these six libraries. Part of the thesis is also extensive supplement with photos and graphic visualizations of unrealised projects.
