Scanned upside down, This is a rendition for the profile of my third model.  The area is dropped below ground with stairs or a ramp coming around the front.  inside, there is an elevated reading area adjacent to the largest wall and an open room where light is cast on the wall in front as a small stimuli.
Beginning drawings of the third model.
Upside down again.  A partial of the second model, in which there are three separate structures.  One is to house the reader, one is a block walkway leading to the third, which is a tall, freestanding structure as a focal point for the reader.  Aerial and side view of second model also continued in next section.

Toying with the concept in the second model.  Maybe making the site tilted to place the focus at a more unreachable point.
Original idea: an expanding room with a reading area in the middle, a beam of light from above to light the reader.  Then a strong juxtaposition of light and dark on the far wall.  Light from one corner will illuminate the wall creating an area of curiosity, but a fencelike structure between the reader and the light prevents him from ever attaining its direct presence.  The entrance is in the rear, so as not to contaminate the lighting on the adjacent wall.

Notes.
