Joe and Rika Mansueto Library from architectmagazine.com
Today's ArchiPic is the Mansueto Library in Chicago, Illinois. It is utterly breathtaking and a for sure advancement in the style of architecture used with libraries. On the campus of the University of Chicago, Jahn Architects designed this massive library that can hold up to 3.5 million volumes of books. The Mansueto Library's basement, which is climate controlled, is 55 feet high. (mostly because of the massive storage area inside) Jahn Architects' main goal was to make it a beautiful and attractive place for the students to experience. It boasts a massive, transparent glass dome that consists of a ceramic frit that helps to reduce glare. You can read mroe at www.architectmagazine.com.
