The study Reimagining the Library of the Future investigates the
various models of public buildings and civic space through the lens
of the library. It takes a critical look at the history, present,
and future transformation of this significant building typology
that has recently emerged as a redefined community place, social
condenser, and urban incubator for knowledge generation, storage,
and sharing. In particular, the library has evolved as a vibrant
and vital member of community development and as a basis for
outreach efforts. This book presents 40 recent public and academic
libraries from around the world, with over 200 images. As the
survey of precedents shows, the historical cases have informed the
design of the recent libraries and the continuous development of
the building type over time. Well-designed libraries are now in
abundance, and the wider view of this study includes médiathèque
and learning centres. The selection of contemporary projects
focuses on urban libraries in Europe (Germany, Italy, Austria,
Netherlands), the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, and China.
