Best Colleges Online listar de 25 mest moderna biblioteken i världen. I kategorin arkitektur finns två svenska bibliotek med! Nämligen Halmstad- och Malmö stadsbibliotek. Motiveringarna lyder:
Malmö stadsbibliotek
This bright, glass enclosed Swedish library was designed by Henning
Larsen. It employs design that is both functional and attractive while
embracing many modern features that help the library run more smoothly
and efficiently as well. The new FKI Logistex self-service check-in
kiosks allow books to be checked in without the assistance of library
staff, visitors use internet and other computer services, and plans
have been made to link library data nationwide to make finding and
using materials easier and more efficient. Perhaps most notably, the
library offers the ability to check out a person for a 45-minute chat
in an attempt to promote understanding and break down stereotypes.
Halmstad stadsbibliotek
For a library that blurs the line between the indoors
and outdoors, check out this Swedish design. Built to extend over the
nearby Nissan River, the building is bright and airy, allowing in
plenty of light. An atrium at the center of the building surrounds an
existing chestnut tree, bringing a bit of the outdoors into the
library’s interior spaces and creating an innovative and soothing
library experience.
Grattis! och jag har inte varit på något av biblioteken.... ännu.
