In response to Library Staff's request that their library be a visual landmark that is "Fun, with a capital F," a forthright attempt was made to create a facility that appears vast, ancient, and romantic - the Camelot metaphor of a mythical, walled complex, built around a central courtyard. The complex itself is comprised of four interlocking building forms, each of which is detailed inside and out with masonry units whose colors are exclusive to the particular form. Employing a combination of masonry and color-coding techniques allows visitors to identify the distinct architectural forms and bring clarity to key elements within the program.
