Abstract
A library is a building through which a town presents its public identity. The local library is not only a repository of information, but also of the town's unique cultural messages and values.
The Thesis Search:
How to make a building that emphasizes the architectonic qualities of Old Town? How to integrate a large and complex public building into the fabric of an intimately scaled town?
