This is a design for a public library in the Netherlands, designed by a Dutch firm MRVDV. Construction began on the library in 2009 and was meant to be completed in Autumn 2011 but still the building has not yet been completed.
The books will be clearly visible from the outside through the glass shell, which also affords views over the town as visitors ascend the staircases that link the terraces.
These facilities will be stacked vertically, creating brick-clad terraces where the book collection will be displayed.
Alongside the book collection and reading areas, the building – referred to as Book Mountain – will include commercial space, offices, an auditorium, conference rooms, and exhibition spaces.
