Exercise 1.3: Occupying Space at Peckham Library

Unfortunately I was refused permission to take photos due to privacy issues. So I decided to draw instead.

I walked around the room, first I made a bigger circle, then I walked nearer middle pod.

Area that I felt was more welcoming was by the windows, I believe due to plenty of daylight. Less welcoming areas would be the quiet zones, probably because there were signs to be quiet and people were working there. I felt like I was an intruder, disturbing their concentration. Spaces under pods were darker than area near the windows, which made them less pleasant to be in. Bookshelves are dominating the space, they are black with sharp edges, divide the space, can’t see much through them. The pods look very interesting and are the focal points, drawing your eyes to them.
