Joshua Prince-Ramus on the Seattle Public Library:
The architect on the new Seattle Public Library discusses his design and theories. I chose this podcast, found through www.youtube.com, because I wanted to demonstrate that libraries can be designed to serve as a community gathering spot and how that is accomplished. The podcast also presents a model for how concepts are brought together with functions in a public library building.

Thanks for putting this on your blog. We are planning a new library and community commons is a very important element. The parking garage for books seems like a very workable solution for all of those books.
Thank you so much for contacting me. As you know I'm interesting in library design and the implications of the library as community commons. I wanted to look at your blog, but it said you were not sharing your profile. If you could provide me with your blog address I would love to follow your project. I'm following the blog by Nampa, IA because of my interest in how a building project develops and unfolds in a community.
RA,
Great Podcast, you are doing a great job.
RA,
