Outdoor Book Rooms - The 24 Hour Library and Community Space in Magdeburg, Germany (GALLERY)
The 24 Hour Library and Community Space in Magdeburg, Germany

This open air library in Magdeburg, Germany was finally completed after a temporary installation was erected from beer crates. KARO Architects designed the open air library to be a functioning public area existing for all hours of the day. There is not registration and community members can come whenever they want to borrow a book.

KARO re-used a modernist facade that belonged to an old warehouse building (which was torn down in 2007) giving the design for the open air library an eco-friendly twist. The library boasts a collection of 20,000 books and is part of a community effort to revive the area in East Germany.

If U of T had a library like this, I probably would have spent more time in there. Instead, we have a peacock-shaped library that feels like a prison complex.
