Description

This volume presents an overview of library buildings in the UK between 1975 and 1983. For the period under review a total of 581 library projects were completed and opened to the public. Over 150 library buildings have been selected for detailed critiques. Structures of all sizes are included, from large central libraries such as Glasgow's Mitchell Library to smaller service points all over the UK. This series presents a permanent record of library architecture in the UK over the years 1975 to 1994, reflecting trends in library design and planning during that period. Outline data is supplied for all the design projects researched. For notable projects, material gathered by an editorial team of librarians on inspection visits is presented in the form of critical appraisals, augmented by photographs, plans and tabulations of architectural data.
