Does this look like a library to you?
New Jalisco Library. WOW, so futuristic! This is definitely gonna be one of the coolest library! Boeing 727/737 fuselages are assembled parallel to one another to form an inclined stack. The stack is palced on the given site with the fuselages' length running East-West. By introducing shifts along the same direction, two large open areas are created within the stack.
The system employs the repetition of airplane fuselages to contain and support functions with more enclosed programmatic requirements, such as book collections, meeting rooms, offices, while the two open areas house the main open program with lobby, reading rooms and theaters with their independent foyer on the other.
The glass facade of the atrium is integrated with a transparent LED Display system that broadcasts the library to the plaza surrounding it and extends its functions to the outside through the display of full color imager and movies as well as text.
