As for zoning and programing, the architect merged the active and passive program together. The space will be divided into 5 main boxes. 4 boxes aside will be used as shelves for keeping all the book and separate them into categories. One box in the middle is a space for the librarian. Each box is a one-story building that connected to each other by flexible function space, to accommodate convenient of access and simple usage for people of all ages in the community.
