Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46187346 Category Professional Firm Moto Designshop Project Assumption Our proposal relies on sound design techniques to program a compact building that achieves ornament with simple form and layering of light. It is respectful of its neighboring material pallets and uses the new technology to achieve a weather tight mechanism to bring its North wall to life. A series of self-contained cylinders programed to take shape upon a visitor engaging a historical document. We seek the opportunity to see drawings come alive at a 1:1 scale. The physical manifestation of this is intended to immerse and embody the historical artifacts like never before. Project Statement Our proposal is a celebration of the historical artifact. A place where the drawing, photograph, relic, word, tool, and artifact are brought out and up close to engage new visitors. Newly programed areas invite those seeking to silently study rare items, while introducing more inclusive gallery spaces that focus on specific and interchanging exhibits. Architecturally, the proposal is compact and frames views to the built artwork of its neighbors. Looking to the future, we leverage technology to activate a large wall that become a physical-digital hybrid Pantograph. A physical manifestation of drawing and art at a 1:1 scale.

Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46157179 Category Professional Firm MGG Architects Project Assumption In 2050 what is understood as a library will stop being what it is now in 2014 in the present time, it is seen as technology and digitalization of books, is gradually changing the giant long hallways filled with book shelves, by desks with computers still reduce the space that library’s really need to function. In some years even computers will be obsolete, replaced by smaller digital devices with higher information storage capacity, creating an interaction atmosphere between the user and the information more dynamic than the books could ever get to be. Project Statement Following the idea of the Project Assumption, my proposal seeks to anticipate this change of interaction with information, by adapting it to architecture. As a way to approach the Athenaeum to the city and the user the library rises above the existing buildings, presenting the city to the person, and the building being an object of cultural presence in Philadelphia because it can be seen from every part of the city. The Athenaeum visitors will have the possibility to obtain information with the building’s façade that will be composed by an interactive touch screen, to consult information of what the user sees over the city buildings. The library will not only be just a library, it will also a great interactive education center, becoming a landmark in the way it achieves to connect knowledge with people.

Most books have electronic copy in 2050. 2. Reading to be redefined by new forms of information carrier: mobile, wearable, direct-neural-transmission devices. 3. Athenaeum to become more a place of accommodating academic activities and member’s gatherings to facilitate and expedite the exchange of knowledge – an agora of knowledge; 4. ASRS (Automated Storage Retrieval System) to be widely installed across libraries to take care of accumulated archives, whilst the need to access hard copy diminishes to the minimum; 5. ‘E-Ink’ technology to be utilized on building façade to produce intelligent curtain wall system. Project Statement 1. Analysis: In the year of 2050, learning is mainly via digital media. However, due to highly advanced network technology, inter-human activities for social and cultural purpose diminishes, which endangers the development of knowledge for human-beings because face-to-face communication remains the most inspiring way to exchange ideas. How to solve this problem? 2. Concept: Agora of Knowledge – Athenaeum Reinvented 3. Design Strategies: a) Convert the space from book oriented to activity oriented. b) Pay tribute to tangible cultural heritage: New building to remain In identical built form as the historic one. c) Pay tribute to intangible cultural heritage: Creation of a ceremonial space dedicated to the Athenaeum, doubles as main event space. d) Employ ASRS (Automated Storage Retrieval System) to store and access hard copy of archives, accumulated over the centuries and still increasing. e) Utilize E-Ink on building facade to achieve unlimited possibility and flexibility – elevation in constant and costless evolution!

Ecological, almost utopian in its conception, these libraries are part of a science fiction future that can sometimes come across as anemic, void of that which we recognize as human in our physical surroundings. The library, taken for granted in our technological age, is in many ways the best representative of what our civilization is capable of. Yet, the library soothes a different urge than the one that promises grandeur in the physical world. Project Statement When our generation grows out of its vertigos of viral knowledge and a nausea begins to creep around the fluorescent glow of the machines that shamelessly capture our desire with small dosages of instant gratification, who will provide the calm, that same calm and silence that drives writers to pour their whole self into the words they write, who if not the Athenaeum of Philadelphia. As such, it should reflect it in full architectural majesty and restrain, like the legacy of the city which gave birth to independence and liberty in a new continent.

Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46174853 Category Professional Firm Graduates of National Technical University of Athens Project Assumption In the years to come the notion of libraries will change outright. They will no longer be perceived just as repositories of information but rather as “data platforms” within the city. These platforms should act as a representation of community space: a meeting point which applies to all and creates collaborative environment. The physical library as we know it will form the fundamental stone for the new digital library. The read-only environment will become an interactive one thus transforming the future library into an oversized laboratory. Its manufacturing process should incorporate green technologies and self-sufficiency methods. The future library should be an example of bridging the gaps. Project Statement The “New Athenaeum” transforms into a fluid landscape. The old surface rises and folds into space, creating the essential binding catalyst between combination and division of the analog present and the digital future. The new surface undertakes the role of an park-islet in the city while the invert underground surface forms the new entrance from the city reinforcing the foundation process while the tower emerges as a welcoming beacon of the digital era. On its own accord the underground space is shaped in an open manner into two different levels and is accessible from the three different points (city, tower, park). The vertical axis multiplies the surfaces of the laboratory spaces in between “small –gardens”. The new uplift of the Athenaeum conforms with the height of the emerging city.

Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46186907 Category Professional Project Assumption As technological innovations continue to occur at an exponential speed, materiality and connectivity of buildings and furniture to a wireless infrastructure will be inevitable in the future. Although architectural graphics are now being digitally created, the quality and sensorial aspects of physical architectural records will still be sought after by avid researchers; increasing the need for innovative storage, display, and retrieval systems. The Athenaeum will continue to embrace and display its wealth of knowledge, both physical and digital, and create spaces that engages all visitors in the pursuit of knowledge through its design. Project Statement With a growing collection of architecturally significant records, the Athenaeum in 2050 will display its book collection to the public on book stacks accessed by a librarian’s assistant. These book stacks will create an ambience that engages visitors’ visual, auditory, and olfactory senses as they pursue research on gesture based tables with ubiquitous access to all information contained within, and outside of, the Athenaeum. An interactive façade will continually display architectural work being researched within the library’s network. The Athenaeum will be a major hub for architecture and related fields through its display of knowledge and collection of architectural records.

The Athenaeum of Philadelphia will serve a center of knowledge and will set new Architectural standards from the future and for the future. Project Statement My interpretation of the project derives within the concept of BALANCE. To find ideal balance between all things that matter through the design process. I strongly believe that, where there is controversy, problems, and debate there is also great opportunity for design and innovation. Whether the challenge promotes, conservation vs innovation, materiality vs use of style, public vs private spaces, building content (Athenaeum) vs design AND SO ON...the design should promote a sense of STRONG BALANCE BETWEEN ALL.

Not only new technologies have been touching almost every part of our lives, but also means of presentation and storing material have been reaching outstanding quality and capacity. As wide fields of medical science and micro-technology join, it will be just a question of time for establishment of direct neuronal media-import into the brain. After safety and copyrights have been attacked in various networks, strict control and safe data will become a prior condition within direct contact between man and machine. Project Statement The shape of the building emphasizes the West-East-direction which also the main direction of movement of visitors, the crossing contact to neighbor buildings is supplied in the hall, too. The pervious structure of the matrix-block and the transparent roof topping the hall framed by the stairways and the bridges provide daylight throughout the building. Biodegradable polymers are used for the facade consisting of two shells with vacuum-insulation. A combination of natural materials for furniture and the big variety of combinations of the shelves consisting of just 6 different elements supports conservation of resources, easy manufacturing-processes and a new term of usage in the future.

In 2050, the artifact, not its image, will remain relevant because of its authenticity. Its physicality is as important as its meaning. In an age of forgery, plagiarism, and the every accessible image (via mobile devices), private storage is replaced with public display – everything is put out for public consumption. Project Statement Our proposal relocates Athenaeum artifacts to the building’s facade thus shifting edge to center and engaging public space as part of the building. Similar to Nolli’s registration of Rome’s public spaces we interject public space into the Athenaeum. This interface is facilitated through transparent, two-sided vitrines. Wrapping the first floor, through the second and third, culminating in an outdoor public space on the roof, the vitrines prominently display the Athenaeum collection to the public. Exposure to Athenaeum artifacts and private spaces democratizes this private collection, eliminating physical and cultural barriers to knowledge.

World’s cultural institutions like the Athenaeum are at the forefront of sustainable practices that educate and involve the collectivity. Digital storage restitutes to humans most space once reserved for books and drawings, while indexed catalogs and search capabilities at infinite speed create time for humanistic activities ranging from individual to collective, leading to a renaissance of architectural typologies like the cloister, the forum, the stoa. Freed from the constraint of a digital interface, architects return to free hand sketching and modeling. Computers adapt to their design process and take care of digitalization from conception to construction and recording. Project Statement In our proposal this renaissance of typologies is reinterpreted in the new tower and in the revisited landscape of Washington square, where web enhanced activities, ranging from individual study to creative networking and social happenings will take place. The world cities’ resolution to cut water consumption in half by 2070 is embraced by Philadelphia where the second phase of the Athenaeum project includes public baths modeled on Caracalla’s thermae. The infrastructural revolution leading to the rational distribution of fundamental services, along with the intimate and collective use of the baths, express the essence of a new and sustainable urbanity.

In this design, the Athenaeum takes the organic shapes of nature yet still fulfills the technological potential of the future, house information digitally and physically. Project Statement The trees from the park overpower the current Athenaeum, and the park is used more often as a public reading area that the Athenaeum itself. The new design will draw the attention it needs by mimicking the shape of the trees that lean over 6th Street lessening the relative grandness of the park.

Building materials will not only feed us data, but can respond to human emotion or perhaps even thought: instant gratification. The way analog data is stored will not change very much, because the only improvement which can be made are chemical treatments that enable tangible documents to last longer. Therefore, it is expected that storage methods remain somewhat similar to what they are today, while a new relationship of experiencing digital and analog information is created. Project Statement The concept of the Athenaeum derives from human desire to gain truth through knowledge. By reasoning and deducing, we piece together a frame from fragments of information. In the future Athenaeum, one can interact with walls to collect this data. From this process we create laws and theories, which are forever preserved in tangible forms, located at the heart of the building; this is the reading room.

Title A name given to the resource Student Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46187528 Category Student School The Catholic University of America Project Assumption Here is a world that renders the physically tangible obsolete, and processes and feeds reality though a machine. Here the youth are truly lost because what was once the academy is now a machine vacant of human interaction and the conventional classroom is a thing of the past. In this brave new world, the athenaeum offers those few who truly know what they want a safe haven, whilst facilitating future citizens fast paced ways of learning. This happens because the private libraries like the athenaeum will be the only piece of past and reality. Project Statement I propose an Athenaeum that is a sacred space. As a church is a hospice for the spiritually damaged, so this building will act as a hospice for the intellectually weak who yearn to explore the vast possibilities of the mind. It will achieve this idea by allowing the program to fold out to the public, enabling intrigue, and folding the public through a gallery into a central hub that is home to the traditions the Athenaeum has held sacred. These traditions include the reading rooms filled with books selected by members, study areas, lecture room, and the chess club.

Already in the past few years, their digital collection has grown exponentially. In the future, the physical collection must be protected, and embraced. It will become a treasure. Life in 2050 is fast paced. All information is available at the touch of a button. Members will visit the Athenaeum for more than just its resources; they will visit just to slow down and experience a traditional library in which one can decelerate, relax, research, and read. Project Statement The goal is to create a library space that will encompass the Athenaeum’s physical history as well as embrace new technologies and look to the future. This reading room will be the literal and spatial focal point of the new Athenaeum. Visitors will be able to see it and understand its centrality, but only be able to reach it after they have fully slowed down and followed the complete, winding path. In order to understand the leisurely nature of the historic Athenaeum, they must advance past increasingly private spaces associated with the reading room along the way. These spaces- scattered like the way that knowledge is disseminated gradually- draw their attention and delay their ascent to the jewel at the end of the path.

With a number of different educational and design institutions within the metropolitan area, students(rising professionals) need a space where they are not only absorbing information but applying it as well. As art techniques advance with the decades, one can witness these transformations through the erecting architecture. Project Statement The Athenaeum of 2050 will provide the citizens of Philadelphia with a center for development. The Athenaeum will allow people to not only develop their mind but their projects and the concepts behind them as well. It is the responsibility of the Athenaeum to provide men, women and the rising generation of Philadelphia, access to a learning environment essential for not only research but also a space that grants amateurs and professionals the ability to gather in commune and share ideas with one another. As members progress from one space to the next, so will the phases of their project. The Athenaeum of 2050 influences movement and encourages productivity.

Whether the information consumed is written, printed, audio-visual or otherwise virtual is merely a side aspect. It is also a place that cannot sustain itself economically through its primary function, thus depending on donations or shifting into paid services – digital databases, advertising, public events; this will only become more pronounced as our global civilization descends deeper into unconstrained economical neo-liberalism. Project Statement Athenaeum+ is a self-sustaining multifunctional organism. Public library and reading rooms on the lower levels are economically supported by a mass of rented office space above it in the form of a tower and by floors of servers below it providing paid online services. The library itself is not different in 2050; what is different is the means that allow it to persist. The focal point of the library is a grand staircase serving as an entrance portal, a backdrop for public events and press conferences; through it, one enters this temple of knowledge, the grand library and reading rooms.

Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46163807 Category Professional Project Assumption As from today, there are two main parameters that modify the way we build cities and that will define the urban skyline in 2050. The first one is the extreme increasing of the city's population that requires creating an economic and fast way to build high density housing architecture. The second parameter is the development of immaterial technology called “the cloud”, the capacity to create a virtual database that defines the way we connect to the world and the city. This means great changes in archiving material of storages, museums, libraries, ... because all of those materials will become cloud-data. Project Statement In the future, public buildings will be dismanteled to recycle them into new housing architecture. So the project of the Athenaeum in 2050 is based on a new conception : 'the cloud-architecture', that consists of the multiplication of an unique public facilities architectural design. This building type consists of 3 functions : connecting, diffusing and storing. It is an extreme functionnalistic conception in which each architectural element serves one of the three functions. These buildings are a continuity of the public space with unlimited access. It is a totally independent structure that can be managed by the cloud with smartdevice.

Data conversion from analog to digital makes information a virtual substance that is coded into particles of a building material resulting in the structure acting as the main storage. Users have limitless access to data from anywhere in the building. A structural grid introduced as scaffolding during the existing building’s dismantling process becomes the movement axis for a 3D anti-gravity printer that is being fed with material containing coded information. The proposal continuously provokes experimental and adaptable spaces. Project Statement The escalating omnipresence of data inspired the proposition of an information processing and storing institution as an extreme scenario for 2050. As information becomes the most valuable “matter”, it must be flexibly accessible and be supported by programmatic injections, such as data creation labs, collaborative spaces, recording stations and storage spaces. Programmes injected parasitically will transform existing ones and consequently the existing building. During the dismantling process selected volumes will be retained by a new mechanism (grid system with protective layer). After the dismantling, the programmatic layout will keep evolving; the proposed mechanism will be responding to changing spatial needs.

We think that written book can be moved on a digital support with no loss of meanings only if its value is just in the words that it contains. When instead a book's message is also paraverbal (either it is worth for layout or handwritten) the technology cannot replace the physical book. So we invented PYR, a smart device that brings a new way of searching and reading books, and even give access to physical books on caveau. Project Statement In order to bring monumentality we worked on timeless archetypes, and classical use of space and voids. Starting from studying the space of Athens Parthenon we designed an environment where the user non just see, but actually feels to be in a sacred space. As for naòs in Parthenon there is Athena’s statue, in the heart of the building there is a pure clean volume, the caveau, where the physical books are available. A monumental facade with slightly overhanging arches enclose these spaces and makes the whole library a landmark, instantly recognizable even from the satellite top view.

Title A name given to the resource Student Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46188962 Category Student School The Catholic University of America Project Assumption While the world is seemingly moving into a more and more digital age, there are traditions and objects that still remain at the core of practice and tradition. This duality is likely to open up a new wave of learning: one in which both the students (people) and the teachers (tradition and artifacts) engage critically to create a flow of dialogue that is then made public through the use of modern communications and human interactions. The changes most likely to occur within the Philadelphia Athenaeum are increased foot traffic due to a wave of urban renewal and historic conservation, an increase in the number of historic artifacts stored due to the passage of time, as well as the rediscovery of the natural world as a vehicle for learning. Project Statement In order for the Philadelphia Athenaeum to become a place where the people learning become the third element of involvement and circulation there needs to be a program that is flexible yet defining. The proposed idea is to construct three types of areas within the program (one totally private for employees, one semi private for members and guest researchers, and one public for visitors and tourists.) that vary based on the involvement of the people who would move through. The program would start as a fluid and lightly defined space, continue into enclosed areas for members, artifacts on display and digital exhibits before moving all the way back to ground itself in a rigid storage area for traditional artifacts and library practices. It also will showcase qualities of rigidity and fluidity colliding through elements such as light, green space, material and digital media.

Title A name given to the resource Student Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46131537 Category Student School The Catholic University of America Project Assumption In 2050, the Athenaeum will remain an intellectual treasure in Philadelphia, a meeting place to share knowledge and culture and to exhibit artistic treasures. It will be an archive for drawings, books, and paintings and a laboratory for the conservation of these rare treasures. As digital technology replaces paper with information, drawing on paper and touching a real book will be treasured experiences. Papers, drawings and texts will become precious jewels. The Athenaeum will savor the feeling and connection between mind and body through tangible objects. It will be an architectural treasure that celebrates the treasures it houses. Project Statement The historic façade frames a courtyard. Beyond is a translucent tower that will glow at night, like a beacon of knowledge. Inside is a large lobby-exhibit – meeting space, a cube within a cube. Small jewel-like spaces hover above and reflect and refract the light. These jewels will offer intimate spaces to read, play, meet and hold treasured objects. In the back are private support functions: extensive storage space for the collection, a conservation laboratory and offices, and the administrative office suite at the top overlooking the private courtyard. The meeting room is articulated as a jewel in the space. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Student Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46189776 Category Student School The Catholic University of America Project Assumption As libraries digitize, they lose the hardcopy becoming a digital cloud, raining information wherever needed by whomever. As the cloud grows, the shadow grows with it, hiding all physical archives in darkness. The analog and digital are a pronounced duality, because one cannot exist without the other. Project Statement Analog: the foundation that adapts to the new age. Digital: the exponential rise in technology. Duality: the balance of oppositions, moving as one form. Expanding paths: creating an interactive middle space serving those who are imbedded into the digital age and those dispossessed. Upon entering, the visitor is visually given two choices of circulation, going up or down below street level. Following the grade down into the auditorium, a space where analog and digital are balanced, light punctures through the ceiling as the digital cloud rains upon its users.

Title A name given to the resource Student Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46189415 Category Student School Tbilisi State Academy of Arts Project Assumption The main idea behind our project design here is the maximum and diverse utilization of space. The project is set in the year 2050. We take into account the technological advancements to provide us with solid holographic walls, and the impact of the digital age to render the use of shelves or bookcases obsolete. This will free up a massive amount of space, which will enable you to utilize each floor as you see fit by switching and adjusting the walls themselves, to fit either an exhibition a library or any other purpose. This way the only permanent restricting borders will be the outer walls of the building itself. Project Statement Here we present a modern take on the Philadelphia Athenaeum build in 1845. We have depicted the main building as a human heart. Like the human heart, it will be the driving force of the structure, incorporating the main functions like electricity, heating, elevators and so on. The heart will be the core of the structure, hypothetically and literally. Also like a human heart the core will have “veins” stretching up to the top floor each floor Is modelled similarly to a bone structure, they will serve as a transportation method just like the hear circulates the blood in a human body. In a way, we see the whole structure as a living, breathing entity, with emotions, memories and feeling just like a human being.

Title A name given to the resource Professional Category Architectural Contest Entry Registration Number 46059756 Category Professional Project Assumption Since antiquity, knowledge was stored via physical text and retrieved in situ at the library site. The ubiquity of information technology puts both the archive and its retrieval in motus for all. Considering the physical activities of retrieval and storage at the library have become anachronistic, the role of the Athenaeum’s architectural presence shifts. Since the archive is now hosted off-site, the building itself must become a rallying point for an institution with Philadelphian roots, but new global tendrils; an icon, preserving the memory of the Athenaeum’s previous incarnation, while offering a newfound opportunity to educate and engage those within the proximity of it’s radiance. Project Statement The architecture of the new Athenaeum of Philadelphia repurposes the institution as an archive in motus. The façade transmits a constant representation of information being retrieved from the archive, dispersing itself and generating a new icon of spectacle. The interior shelters the memory of the institution’s past incarnation. Remnants of the façade are repurposed as both structure and reminder, maintaining an unbroken history. With the archive now hosted and retrieved off-site, the interior has been liberated for activities relating to the advancement of the Athenaeum’s mission. Spaces allow for the encouragement of discourse, and the hosting of events that celebrate and further two hundred plus years of the Athenaeum’s cultural and intellectual contributions that will serve as an identifying marker within Philadelphia.
