We explore how the library’s design moves from an intimidating, fortress-like space to one that fosters connection and collaboration. We discuss attunement, where the space influences how we work and interact, especially in communal areas. As we move up the library, the mood shifts to quieter, more solitary spaces, highlighting kinning—a sense of shared purpose even in solitude. We also connect these concepts to the PCL’s history, showing how its design and the legacy of its founders make it a place of inclusion and academic connection.
