dc.descriptionEntrance to the library from the west canyon court; the upper window continues into the building as a triangular skylight; Part of the Scottsdale Public Library system; each of Scottsdale’s branches is named after a breed of horse. Architect James Richärd and his partner, interior designer Kelly Bauer created a place that connects strongly with the natural landscape. The designers were inspired in particular by the local geology of the desert slot canyon: the deep and narrow sandstone ravines, carved by rushing water, that are such striking features of the southwest. The unique program of the library is based on contemporary bookstore concepts, and includes a popular library with a 120,000 volume collection as well as coffee bar and bookstore elements. The program also includes a children’s program room, two multipurpose rooms, computer training center and a dedicated teen area. It is LEED certified; and won the 2008 International Interior Design Association/Metropolis Smart Environments Award. Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily.com/ (accessed 8/4/2013)en_US
