South End Library Light and Design

Mid-Century modern architecture in Boston's South End.

A beautiful example from the Mitchell/Giurgola architectural firm with this design for the (new) South End branch of the Boston Public Library.

 

Based in Philly in the 1960s, Mitchell/Giurgola and the Philadelphia School "challenged doctrinaire modernism with designs and buildings that conceptually recognized their context. Giurgola completed the BPL’s South End library branch in 1971 as he and the Mitchell/Giurgola Architects firm attracted national and international attention for their work."
