The Malatestiana Library in Cesena is one of the oldest public libraries in Europe. It was built in the mid-1400s, funded by the Malatesta family, and given to the community rather than to the Church or kept private. This saved it from being taken over, ransacked, or destroyed in the many rivalries over the centuries between the Church, nobles, and eventually the state -it belonged to the people and was protected as such. The windows were specially designed to let the maximum of light in for reading (in the window on the right note the small round glass, this served to amplify the light as if it were many magnifying glasses -this was the afternoon of a semi-cloudy winter day).

Title: Low Library
Other title: Low Memorial Library
Creator: McKim, Mead & White
Creator role: Architect
Date: 1894-1897
Current location: New York City, New York, United States
Description of work: Low's general architectural style is based on the Pantheon in Rome and the Parthenon in Greece. Designed in the form of a Greek cross, it is crowned by the largest all-granite dome in North America (105 feet high and 70 feet across). The interior of the building consists of Irish, Italian and Istrian marble. The columns that separate the rotunda from the corridor are of solid green marble brought from Ireland. In the entranceway stands a white marble bust of Pallas Athene (Athena), which was modeled after the Minerve du Collier in the Louvre. The twelve signs of the zodiac, which represent knowledge, surround her. Bronze busts of Zeus and Apollo flank the entrance.

Architect not found, but plainly the work of the Johns, Slater Haward partnership; or, if not, a remarkably well-observed copy of their house style of the late 1950s. It bears a strong resemblance to their Sprites Schools, Ipswich, completed in 1960. Outside, triangular groups of wooden and metal rectangular frames fill to lift the geometric roofs. Internally, a typical JSH motif, the jolly wooden framing in the shape of a ship's hull. The pendulous lights may well be original.
All that is missing are the cheerful Bernard Reynolds sculptures that were often integrated into the structure of their buildings at this time. However, the concrete trellis forming the porch adds the required jaunty touch.

Date: 1994-2002
Current location: Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland
Description of work: Located between the Vistula River and the Warsaw Escarpment on a culturally and ecologically significant site, the library's design is based on a "city in the woods" concept and was the winning entry of the 1993 design competition for the building. The library is built within the existing topography of the landscape (two levels below grade and two levels above grade) and is constructed of reinforced concrete, steel, glass, and pre-patinated copper. The building's 5,000 square meter green roof is watered by a stormwater irrigation system and contains four thematic gardens, each of which is surrounded by massive skylights and connected by steel bridges. The roof gardens provide expansive views of the city and are integrated into the adjacent University Public Garden by grand staircases and linear water channels. "The library's interior is divided both functionally and physically by a glass enclosed street arcade, which serves to separate and connect the library stacks andleased commercial space.The copper facade along Dobra Street displays eight [4x7 meter] copper tablets containing six different alphabets, mathematical and chemical equations and musical and literary concepts."
