UK - Birmingham - Library of Birmingham - Rotunda lift_DSC7735
One more shot of the Mecanoo designed, RIBA Stirling Prize nominated Library of Birmingham interior before I move on. This is the glass lift that goes up to the very top floor, unfortunately for both of my visits the lift was out of action......

From Wikipedia : "The Library of Birmingham is a public library in Birmingham, England. It is situated on the west side of the city centre at Centenary Square, beside the Birmingham Rep (to which it connects, and with which it shares some facilities) and Baskerville House. Upon opening on 3 September 2013, it replaced Birmingham Central Library. The library, which is estimated to have cost £188.8 million, is viewed by the Birmingham City Council as a flagship project for the city's redevelopment. It has been described as the largest public library in the United Kingdom, the largest public cultural space in Europe, and the largest regional library in Europe."
