Cardiff Central Library temporary building

    Newer Older

    Saw this at the weekend, and was bowled over the the concept. It's a temporary building while the Central Library is rebuilt.

    There's another version of this building here:

    They've both been picked up by some blogs, and compared to a similar concept in Kansas City for a library garage:

      The light on yours and the slight angle made me think this was in America for some reason.

      Yeah, it's funny that UK one looks more American than the one in Kansas City, which looks highly traditional. I only realised the tilt after posting, and I rather liked it, and how it gave a slightly more aggresive angle to the white multi-storey buildings in the background.
