Hi,
Would anyone be willing to serve as recorder at the following session?:
Title: The Forgiving Building: (Re)Designing the 21st-Century Library
Date & time: Monday, April 4, 9:30-11:00 AM
Program ID: Session 11
Description: Just as library collections and the institutions that
contain them have unique features, each library space has its own needs,
character, and symbolism. What are the essential components, if any, of
an appropriate, flexible, functional, and inviting library space? What
are the effects of virtual collections on the physical aspects of the
library? In this session, the panelists will explore the process of
library design and how it can generate spaces that are agile, able to
accommodate continual growth, capable of change, and friendly. Several
major library building projects-from the past and present-including the
Seattle Public Library designed by Rem Koolhaas and his firm, the Office
for Metropolitan Architecture, will inform the discussion.
Thanks.
Best,
--PG
