The Boundary County Library Project is one that we have been working on for almost the entire semester, and we have gone through many different stages of design to finally end up at this point. We began this project by visiting the town of Bonners Ferry and speaking with the community members of the town to discover what they wanted to see most in the design of the new community center. We then formed teams with the landscape architects in SDC and began to work on this project as a team. This design that our group came up with is that of a brand new building, which entails demolishing the existing building in order to incorporate all of the square footage needs that the different organizations moving into this building require. This is the best option for the town of Bonners Ferry as it will give them all of the space they need, and it will allow for the design of a building exterior that will be better incorporated into the design of the rest of the town. The facade that we came up with mimics the look of the old mill in Bonners Ferry with a pitches roof. It also uses logs on the exterior of the building and river rock to tie it back to the history of the river in the town. Overall, this project gave me experience working with a community, working in a group, and also improving my ability to be flexible and work on my development conceptual design.
