Description:
"A full departure from previously conventional library design, this striking building combines brightness, color, simplicity and comfort with economy, long life and ease of maintenance and operation. Materials were selected not only for utility but also for aesthetic contribution to the whole effect. Stainless steel is extensively used as a companion to brick, glass, granite, marble, Venetian Glass tile and hardwoods. Cantilevers around the building permit continuous exterior wall-hung shelving. The interior plan is in the form of open space rather than separate rooms off corridors, allowing flexibility of use. There is an almost complete absence of interior walls. The central core, attractively covered with gold-flecked Venetian tile, contains elevators, service stairs and most of the utilities. The serpentine wall enclosing the garden presents a dramatic contrast to the sheer contemporary lines of the building." description "A full departure from previously conventional library design, this striking building combines brightness, color, simplicity and comfort with economy, long life and ease of maintenance and operation.
