哥伦布城市图书馆附近的新汽车公园通过不周到的服务和对交流的催化从而产生了正向变化，并向人们展示了在信息时代什么才是真正的图书馆。图书馆位于转型时期：图书馆曾经是传播知识和独自安静的反省的场所，现在的图书馆是一个见面、社交，研讨和消磨时间的地方。新汽车公园为图书馆带来了由内向外的转变，使用了传统模式的图书馆形式：中心区是人们集中精力读书的地方，而联欢会等交互功能区则位于图书馆外围。这里靠近街道，人们可以享受充分的自然光。

汽车公园自古以来就以竞赛出名，项目工程包含一个跑道概念，从而组织整理不同的功能、建筑的外形和书籍及其他媒介的展览。图书馆前方有一条街道，图书馆内有公众会议室，图书馆还为附近的青年和技术提供服务。汽车公园不仅仅是一个被动的消息提供者，还是一个积极的社交场所。

The new Driving Park Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library addresses what it means to be a library in the Information Age, while providing an underserved neighborhood with a catalyst for community and positive change.Libraries are in transition: once a point of knowledge dissemination and quiet introspection, they are becoming places to meet, socialize, study, hang out and plug in. The new Driving Park Branch turns the library inside-out, placing traditional modes of library patronage — like focused reading — at the center of the building, while social, interactive functions are located along the perimeter, where they benefit from natural light and engagement with the street.

Because Driving Park was historically known for racing, the project incorporates a “racetrack” concept to organize the different functions, shape the building envelope, and display books and other media. With a transparent street frontage, public meeting rooms, services for neighborhood youth and technology, the Driving Park Branch is not merely a passive provider of information, but also an active participant in connecting community.
