Research into St Kilda Library for major project

The ‘Open Book’ extension to the existing St Kilda Town Hall and Library was built in 1994 and has received many design awards. The façade consists of a stone - clad book, the design referencing the bookish role of libraries, while the computer monitor shaped window penetration suggests that the technological age is emerging from the pages of the book. The open space in Carlisle Street was redeveloped as a public space, establishing a crossover to the library.

This building, references themes from the technological age, by appropriating circuit boards, barcodes, morse code and binary numerals which are revealed by the randomly striated pre-cast concrete panel cladding and glazing.
