Calgary Central Library

This image is of the exterior of the Calgary Central Library.

The library, also known as the Calgary New Central Library (NCL), is a public library in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and the flagship branch of the Calgary Public Library system. The building is located in the Downtown East Village neighborhood and opened on November 1, 2018.

The four-storey building cost CA$245 million to construct and was designed by American-Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta and Canadian firm DIALOG after the two firms' joint bid won a design competition in 2013.

Their design features an oval-like form and an interior with a large central atrium with a skylight. (Notes from Wikipedia)
