The aim of this report is to compare the structure of Trinity College Library and The Hive. The Hive Library, in Worcester, is a four-storey building made of golden-coloured copper-aluminium alloy wood (exterior) and waterproof concrete (interior). Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios designed the building, which cost around '£38 million' (Ijeh, The modern reader, p2). The library was designed for the use of the public and for the use of students at the University of Worcester. On the other hand, Christopher Wren designed Trinity College in 1676-1695 in Cambridge. It is one large room, on the first floor. Several meters below the external divide, between the two floors, is the library floor (Hawkes, Origins of Building Science, p87). This gives better architectural proportion. The library was designed for the exclusive use of Cambridge students. The use of both libraries explains the difference in size of the two buildings. The Hive was designed for public and Worcester undergraduate students, while Trinity was designed for Cambridge undergraduate students only. The Hive is larger because the library is used by a larger population than the Trinity library. The design of both libraries is completely different. This is due to the time difference between the construction of the two libraries (difference of 317 years) and the different designers. Wren designed cathedrals in the 16th century (Hawkes, Origins of Building Science, p71-85), which explains why the layout of the Trinity is so similar to the Island in the church. The large stained glass window in the center of the library gives a religious feeling because it is structured similar to an island in church and therefore adds a heavenly feeling to the library, also the way the position of the stack is similar to the island seats placed in one ...... half of the paper ......the building used artificial light to make it bright at night to increase the use of the library. However, Trinity artificial lights are candles, which limits their usage time. Therefore, The Hive is a more successful building.Works CitedSawmill Walk. (2013). Creation of the hive.
