The driving force for Downtown Miami’s new urban library was to create a central hub which allowed the community to gather and instill an identity. The idea of creating a multi purpose setting in which housing workplace and retail merged, was the culminating aspect of the library. Creating and framing the  best views around the site was a crucial aspect, as it allowed the public to be in many spaces at once. Crafting a vast range of transparencies strengthened and fostered  connections within  the library and throughout the site in which it stood.
