Abstract
The Master’s Thesis brings the social and environmental sustainability as a design focus through the proposal of the children’s library in Chwaliszewo, district of Poznan, in Poland. The library, as a cultural building, has a great potential of carrying a societal mission of strengthening local communities and, through its wise and user-oriented design, can increase the number of visitors and encourage children to learn. The project vision is based on conducted research and analyses of the site and users. The thesis demonstrates the concept development through the integrated design process, based on the relevant design-parameters, such as urban context, functions, indoor environment and energy performance, resulting with the design development and optimization. The thesis completes with the proposal of sustainable library design, oriented on children as the main user group, where building form is highly determined by the site and climate conditions and the spaces are planned to respond to various children’s needs, as well as to create an attractive and social spot for the neighborhood.
