In more than 50,000 neighborhoods in 70 countries all over the world, there are people who who take it upon themselves to build book exchanges in their yards, neighborhoods, and public spaces. In 2017, in partnership with Little Free Library® and AIASF (American Institute of Architects, San Francisco), Chronicles Books launched a challenge that asked architects to design one of these wee libraries.
I designed my entry as an open-source, DIY project using readily available materials and simple cutting techniques. It affixed to the existing infrastructure of the public transit networks to maximize opportunities for the flow of books across the city while taking advantage of the attention of commuters waiting for their buses to arrive.
