Hi Kyle,
I absolutely love your exploration of global library trends! I was actually considering doing something similar for my report since it ties into comp O perfectly, but I’m so glad I didn’t—yours is absolutely amazing! The way you’ve curated such a diverse range of examples, not just geographically but also in terms of their innovative focus, is incredible. Your report beautifully highlights libraries’ potentiality for innovation while staying true to their core mission of connecting people to knowledge and each other.
I love how these libraries have transformed themselves into vibrant, multifunctional community hubs. I can’t wait to visit them and experience it all in-person, hopefully in the near future. I’m especially impressed by the stunning Beijing Library with its nature-inspired stepped hill design. The emphasis on eco-friendly practices and inclusivity is so inspiring.
