CALGARY CENTRAL LIBRARY
The brochure focuses on the Central Library building in Calgary, Canada, which opened its doors to the public on November 1, 2018.
The library has won many honors and awards for its architectural designs, and the former mayor called the building “the new icon of the city.”
The first time I saw the building and got inside, I was amazed. The scale, the design, the technology and functionality, purpose and vision, all of it was admirable. I wanted to make the booklet as minimalist and functional as the library itself, to keep the balance of air and text blocks, to complement everything with beautiful photos, so that every reader would want to visit this place.
