Description:

|
The design of this 25,405 sq. ft. branch library for the City of Phoenix addresses issues of affordability in sustainable design. Located within a Planned Shopping Center in north Phoenix behind a gas station, car wash, fast food restaurant, and supermarket, the Library?s construction and material pallet quietly draws from the language of its retail neighbors. The Library?s ""false front"" (a 56 ft. galvanized metal scrim curving along the site?s eastern edge of 36th Avenue) mediates between its two realities: one of a limited budget, the other of the civic presence expected in a public institution. The metal scrim is much larger than the masonry building behind it. Named one of 10 New Landmark Libraries by Library Journal in 2011. In 2012, the firm dissolved and split; it is now Will Bruder Architects and WORKSBUREAU. (Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily .com/)

Gabions are modular building blocks formed of wire mesh and filled on site with rock, stone, or crushed concrete. They are filled on the premises, often with locally available material and are an effective and relatively inexpensive capital cost.
