Eco-Library Design provides a world-wide perspective on 21st century trends in library architecture. In describing the ethos behind the design of Kanazawa Umimirai Library, architects Kazumi Kudo and Hiroshi Horiba, state that ?...the act of creating a space that surrounds you with books, is undoubtably linked to the creation of a new enriched sense of public values?. Henri Labrouste?s Bibliotheque National in Paris is cited as an atmospheric influence on their work. It would seem that in Japan, a country which readily embraces the convenience of electronic and digital books, obituaries for the printed version are somewhat premature. The digital revolution is just one of many challenges faced by the library architect. To satisfy the varied and fast changing demands of library users, flexible, future proof, indoor and outdoor spaces must now support both active and passive pursuits from quiet, contemplative reading to audible public performance. Enhanced user experience is a high priority for the discerning client. This publication explores in detail the evolution of the eco-library, focusing on how design teams cope with diminishing resources in diverse geographic and climatic conditions. The featured projects demonstrate measurable reductions in construction and operational costs through innovative designs that utilise the ecology of a selected site in a positive way. A new library development will now inevitably seek to lead by example, visibly demonstrating good environmental practice to those visiting the facility.
