Buffalo’s “premier destination” provides firstclass amenities in a variety of programs, including:
-Residences-Hotel-Offices-Restaraunt
STATLER TOWERS
Opened in 1907, the Statler has been primarily alarge and luxurious hotel, but also includes thefollowing programatic features:
-Multiple ballrooms for private parties-”For Hire” Catering business
MAIN PLACE (LIBERTY COMPLEX)
One of the more prominent buildings in the Buffaloskyline, this two city block complex offers plentyof retail space in the towers, however the lower portion of the building is a mini mall and parking garage. Thesouthern tower also provides a hotel.

MEDICAL LIBRARY PROPOSALUNIVERSITY AT BUFFALOCHRIS OSTERHOUDT
25
Using the Bishan Community Library and the Surry Hills Library as precedents for a library design to be built on the downtown campus of the University at Buffalo, I designed a concept that both integrated the private areas of the book stacks with an expansive community space, as well as the built environment of the library itself with its surrounding natural environment. The prominent curved curtain system on the southern and eastern facades of the library serves as a natural heating and cooling system for the library’s interior. Modular extrusions, or “pods”, on the north and west elevations, as well as on the interior of the library, seemingly “stitch” the building and the exterior environment together.

SUMMER SOLSTICE
As seen in the Surry Hills Library, a large double-glazed facade encompassing an entire elevation of the build-ing traps air between the two layers of glass. In the winter, the trapped air is heated by the sun, [purified by greenery in the case of the Surry Hills Library], and circulated throughout the building for heat. In the summer, horizontal shudder like devices that span the entire length of the top of the glass atrium prevent sun rays from directly penetrating the glazing, preventing the enclosed air from overheating. The curve isdetermined by the angle with which the sun rays hit the earth; 70°. By drawing a 70°line from the bottom of the facade to the apex of the curtain system,the long shudders on top of the atrium serve as anoverhang to the entire library, blockingthe summer rays from directlypenetrating into thestructure.

In the Bishan Community Library, large extrusions from the facade serve as occupiable “pods”. The sameconcept is applied here. When a pod is extruded from the private area of the library, the result is a displaced volume from either the outside or public environments. That displaced volume is brought inside the private space, influencing the placement of the book stacks by creating voids in their placement. These voids can be used for group study areas with the placement of tables and couches in that space.

With the development of technology comes the decreasing need for libraries in today’s society. Rather than developing a building solely for the collection of books, I designed a center for the sharing of knowledge in a community environment. The entire first floor does not have a single bookcase on it; rather, it is an open plan in the form of an expansive reading and relaxation lounge. Couches and chairs are dispersed throughout, and a cafe such as Starbucks has a place for business. By creating an openly inviting environment with the entire ground floor, the building’s program becomes more practical outside that of just a library,
