Their\u003cbr\u003earchitecture is currently the subject of much discussion, as the demands on\u003cbr\u003ethese cornerstones of modern civilization have changed enormously since they\u003cbr\u003ehave had to meet the requirements of the new multimedia and digital age. The\u003cbr\u003elibrary as an institution underwent a real image change from an introverted\u003cbr\u003eknowledge repository to a globally networked information provider and\u003cbr\u003ecommunication mediator. \u003cbr\u003eThe architectural expression of this expanded and constantly evolving profile\u003cbr\u003eof requirements makes library construction extremely multi-layered and complex.\u003cbr\u003eBut this is also precisely the source of enormous potential for bold designs\u003cbr\u003eand ingenious aesthetic concepts. Whether involving new buildings, conversions\u003cbr\u003eor extensions, this volume shows the diversity of this building task with its\u003cbr\u003einterplay of state-of-the-art technology and cultural demands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Braun Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037682937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Chris Van Uffelen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43150429520053,"sku":"9783037682937","price":50.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_862133af-3481-4672-858e-fd2e65a18187.jpg?v=1696348161","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/buildings-for-books-contemporary-library-architecture-9783037682937","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
