Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the shelves and settle down with a new book. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.
Stuttgart City Library (Stuttgart, Germany)
Opened in 2011, this 9-story public library is so special because of its wonderful color scheme (lit by blue light at night) and its rare cubic shape. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artworks as well as books.
Beach Library (Albena, Bulgaria)
Beach Library is the first of its kind in Europe to encourage visitors to read a book on the beach. The white, weather resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6, 000 books in 15 languages so every visitor can find the perfect book to read while exposed to the sun’s rays.
Seikei University Library (Tokyo, Japan)
This library is the new symbol of Seikei University. Libraries are usually famous for their quiet atmosphere, but this one encourages conversation. Pritzker Prize-winner Shigeru Ban designed the library with free-standing soundproofed(隔音的)equipment to serve as perfect spots for study groups and lively discussions.
Macquarie University Library (Sydney, Australia)
The very library was designed to be a sustainable building. A great combination of high technology and sustainable development, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof, and was designed to look like a local unique tree. It is also advanced, using robot tools to bring requested books to the front desk.
