AMBS Architects has released the designs for the first new public library building in the city since the 1970s. Functionality, intuitive organisation and rational user-friendly design were all key concepts that shaped the building from the inside out. Designed to encourage intellectual, creative and social exchange, it will be a place where young people can come together and share ideas with each other and the rest  of the world.

The elegant multi-purpose building is designed to engage and empower visitors, and to encourage open exchange. Digital technology is a vital feature, which will enable interactive engagement with the rest of the world through the internet and social media.
