To best explore volumes for the library on the site, I have made a rough 1:400 working model to quickly see how different forms relate to the surrounding urban context and how the forms can integrate with the topography. The process of my massing studies began with continually tracing over an earlier context drawing, and trying to discover ways to manipulate geometry to accommodate and enhance existing circulation patterns-as well as how to transform the site to become an important place to social exchange for the community. At the moment I am really interested in the potential of the 'split' options which allow for more free circulation, and the possibility for varying the height of the library as it moves through the site.
