The designs and models for the new downtown Central Library were unveiled over lunch hour, to a crowd of several hundred city and regional residents. Applause and smiles were abundant! Cesar Pelli & Associates, Architectural Alliance and Michaels Associates, along with the Library Board of Trustees all deserve credit for bringing area residents a truly remarkable new library facility in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. It will surely be a destination for area residents and visitors alike. I particularly like the extensive use of clear and opaque exterior glass walls that open the inside to the outdoors, while bringing the outside in, regardless of season. Check the pictures already posted by the list manager, and I'm sure all local news sources will carry extensive coverage over the next couple of days. I'm excited!
