Completing research on these two libraries gave me two very different perspectives on how to design a library, and ended up being very applicable to my work designing the Boundary County Library. The Sammamish library is a completely brand new structure that was built on a completely different site than the original library. The St. Croix Falls Library utilized an old building in town and completely refurbished it to become a beautiful new library. Both of these designs were very effective and work well for each of their respected communities. The design challenge with the Boundary County Library was whether or not to tear it down and start new, or to add on to the existing structure. Learning about both of these buildings gave me an interesting perspective on both when thinking about my own design.
