Library Design Expo






Tufts library asked the kids of Weymouth to submit design ideas for a new library. The town wants to know what the kids really want in a library. I thought this is a great idea and wanted to give the challenge to 3rd grade class. We talked about floor plans and how an architect would draw plans for a  room. The rest was really up to their imagination. They greatly surpassed any expectations I had for the creativity of ideas. After two weeks of drawing the final drawings are now on display at Tufts Library until the end of the week. The "real" architects working on drawing plans for a new library have looked over the students drawing for insight and inspiration. 
Anthony also did a 3D Lego design at the exhibit.
