DPL is the Detroit Public Library, located in downtown Detroit. As an
old industrial city, the revitalization of the city has become a priority for
the local government, and the renovation of the DPL can contribute
to the revitalization of the city. The DPL block is very solid, it can give
some sense of power. Symmetrical distribution on both sides can also
give people enough of a sense of ritual. The project transforms the old
building through volume logic, addition and subtraction, and the new
library will bring an entirely new feeling to the city silhouette
