Each project team in each of the four schools started the project by considering the purpose and contents of a library of the future. The integration or separate development of theatres has been approached differently amongst the groups.
Common themes explored include;
- openness and welcoming appearance
- social facilities
- links to a variety of other public facilities including hospitals, casinos, schools and the International Space Station
- vibrant interiors
- various sections; music usually being more popular than literature
- games and activity sections
- a wide variety of computer/gadget/touchscreen technologies both current and imagined
One of the most intriguing aspects to these sessions has been the discussions concerning where the project will be based. An impressive list is growing including;
Birmingham City Centre
Each of the schools
Liverpool (linked to a childrens' hospital
Los Angeles
Longbridge Rover Site
Ghana
International Space Station (extension)
Inter-continental standardised design
Florida
