The Peckham Library in London, UK was designed by Alsop & Stormer Architects and opened in 1999. It aims to challenge conceptions of libraries as intimidating spaces and create a welcoming community hub. The design features an L-shaped layout with a double-height reading room on the fourth floor providing views of the city. Enclosed pods on columns house meeting rooms, a children's area, and an Afro-Caribbean study center. Natural light and ventilation are maximized through a glass facade and open floor plan. The library aims to be a respite from the social challenges outside through its bright, sustainable design.

Architecture can be traced in history since the beginning of civilization. It is an ancient discipline
and the results of its thinking and endeavor provide us with some of the most lasting examples of
our culture. Our monuments, cities, and village speak of our culture over the longest span of
time. Yet, the representation of architecture and its role in our society has not flowered. To
bridge this gap in understating between the profession and society, a National Museum of
Architecture is needed. The designed museum should provide spatial variety and inspire a sense
of visual excitement, thus contributing to the overall concept of entertainment and learning.

Cahndigarh City & Housing
Chandigarh is one of the most significant urban planning experiments of the 20th century. It is the only one of the numerous urban planning schemes of Le Corbusier to have actually been executed. It is also the site of some of his greatest architectural creations. The city has had a far-reaching impact, ushering in a modern idiom of architecture and city planning all over India. It has become a symbol of planned urbanism. It is as famous for its landscaping as for its architectural ambience. Most of the buildings are in pure, cubical form, geometrically subdivided with emphasis on proportion, scale and detail. It was one of the early planned cities in post-independent India and is internationally known for its architecture and urban design. The master plan of the city was prepared by Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, which transformed from earlier plans created by the Polish architect Maciej Nowicki and the American planner Albert Mayer. Most of the government buildings and housing in the city, were designed by the Chandigarh Capital Project Team headed by Le Corbusier, Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

5. Background
Designed for: London Borough of Southwork
Location:Southwark, south London, UK
Date built: 1999
Design: Alsop & Stormer, Architects
Area: 24,750sqft
Awards:Stirling Prize winner, 2000
6. Location
The library is situated
between Hill Street and
High Street in the area
known as Peckham
Rye,creating a boundary
for an outdoor plaza
area along with the
Troughton MacAslan
Arch and a fitness
centre.
7. Social Context
Peckham has traditionally suffered from high levels
of unemployment and crime rates.
gang violence is common here,Therefore the front
façade is covered by pre-patina copper plates to
rampart against violence and degradation coming
from the district
it is in total contrast with the mood of the outside life
which is stressful, noisy and violent.
Between its walls, Peckham Library recreates a new
society for people who could wish to escape from
the grey world they are living into.
8. Site And Surroundings
The site is
East-west
oriented.

Fitness
center

Space
9. Access
Can be accesable
through vehicle,
pedestrian and
cycles.
It is just beside the
main road which Is
connected to
another large
road.
The ground level
arcade creates a
cross axis to the
Arch, expressing a
‘circular hub’ for
pedestrian access.
10. Concept
Challenges conception
of library as “daunting”
and “ hermetic”.
Derived from L shape
form.
Acts like “Container &
Contained”
Main focus was to
create equality.
It was Designed on the
basis of site’s social
context.
12. Entrance
The reading room
creates a deep
overhang beyond
the footprint of the
building, providing
a large, covered
open area for the
public in front of the
entrance.
13. Plan
The ground
floor level is a
double height
space
containing a
reception desk
and an
interview space
for community
advice.
14. The floor above
ground floor
has the
multimedia
center as well
as staff offices
and amenities.
During busy
hours the
second floor
can be used as
overflow study
space.
Plan
15. The main reading
area is in the fourth
floor and a double
heighted space.
There were
sensible
justifications for
placing the reading
room above street
level, not least that
it freed up the site.
However the main
advantage of the
arrangement, and a
major success of
the building, are
sweeping views
across the city that
allow residents of
Peckham to know
that they are in
London
Plan
17. Section
The vertical stack of the offices and
the horizontal bar of the reading space
form an L-shaped “bookend” that
leaves the void of the landscaped
outdoor square very pure.
18. Section
The vertical block
emphasizes “transparency
and permanent ability to
reinforce the idea of the
horizontal block as its own
solid
20. Interior
comfortable chairs placed in
clusters throughout the
space, inviting you to sit
down and become invested
in a book.
So within the public space,
there are small pockets of
very personal space,
changing as one person
stops reading and another
one begins.
These pockets are mostly
under the pods and around
the columns
One can easily associate
them to big wooden huts or
23. The “POD”
Three enclosed 'pods' are
located within the library
space; they contain a
meeting room, a children's
activity center and an
Afro-Caribbean study
center. The 'pods' are
elevated on columns and
are an efficient use of
space - they leave usable,
accessible space below
them while providing
private areas for quiet
study above the main
library floor.
26. Façade Treatment
The north face of the building is completely glazed
with a grid of clear and vividly colored glass, This
provides an excellent combination of natural light
and colored tinted light within the library spaces.
The distinctive green of the copper cladding
contrasts with the orange tongue-shaped
attachment protruding from above the front of the
roof; this acts as a shade for the study center on
the top floor.
27. Light
Light becomes another material
separating the area from the rest of the
library.
The ceiling contains cut-outs and
niches to make the space airy and light.
From the exterior, the windows and
skylights appear randomly placed. But
once inside the reading space, you can
see the natural lighting was really
calculated.
Light falls into the space from around
the pods and around the perimeter of
the dropped ceiling. What a novelty to
read and work by natural light!
The walls are painted a creamy white,
with light seeping in around the edges
of the ceiling through a gap between
29. Structure(column)
The most obvious
structural feature of the
building is the large
overhang which is
supported by 6 thin,
slanted metal columns
giving it a dynamic and
destructed aspect.
Viewers are perturbed by
the shape as the notion of
such a large load being
supported on such small
beams makes the
structure visually unstable
and therefore makes the
viewer uneasy but
nevertheless intrigued.
30. Material
Variety of materials used
including pre-patinated
copper, steel, colored glass
panels and wood.
The interior and exterior are
contrasting in nature through
materials.
The red carpeting and the
various sitting pockets
under the pods makes the
interior cozy and
comfortable
The copper and wire mesh
used on the exterior makes
the building rough and tough
and with the colored panels
this library becomes striking
to look at.
31. Sustainability
The glass facade allows in natural sunlight, reducing the need for
artificial light.
The structure is designed to allow for maximum air circulation to
reduce heating and cooling costs. The cheeky beret cap on the roof
cools and shades the ventilation shaft. The ceiling contains cut-outs
and niches to make the space airy and light.
There is a lot of green spaces around Peckham library, contrasting
with the urban mood.
The oxided copper does not need any chemical products to
maintain the surface
The glass façade has multiple layers keeping the heat inside the
building.
The building has no air-conditioning and this attachment is part of
the design that combines shading, natural ventilation and passive
cooling effects to produce considerable reductions in the operating
