Introductory statement

The Immersion Process is an overwhelming introduction into architecture – it’s the creation of a

library through the utilization of a basic level of knowledge concerning the vast concept itself.

Specifically, this design process reflects the activities undertaken in a traditional library, and their

similarities – and differences – to activities undertaken in parks. This concept materializes into the

built form, primarily focusing on the line that divides what it means to be a park, and what it means

to be a library. This line then folds, extrudes, and directs – signifying a library and its realm of

urbanity, and a park and it’s dominion within nature.
