The Path - “Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world of digital information is forcing us to redefine the role of the library. To preserve their relevance in the presence of an invasive digital world, contemporary libraries must adjust and promote physical experiences that are unattainable in the virtual sphere. The Path is our proposal for a reactive library that embodies the evolving nature of culture and technology. As more people relish the convenience of digitization, The Path stands to attract and pull them away from this intangible and isolated cyberspace.
