However, the bonfires built for the printed version remain unlit. Research undertaken for this publication suggests that the traditional reading room is currently enjoying a renaissance in many different guises, with print and digital media enjoying a symbiotic relationship. The digital revolution is just one of the many challenges faced by the library architect. To satisfy the varied requirements of library users, flexible, future proof, indoor and outdoor spaces must now support both passive and active pursuits. These often contrasting demands can vary dramatically from quiet, contemplative reading to audible public performance. This publication explores in detail the evolution of the eco-library, focusing on how design teams cope with diminishing resources in diverse geographic and climatic conditions. The featured projects demonstrate measurable reductions in both construction and operating costs through innovative designs that utilise the ecology of a selected site in a positive way. A library development will now inevitably seek to lead by example, visibly demonstrating sound environmental practice, and providing an enhanced user experience for increasingly more discerning patrons. Eco-Library Design provides a worldwide perspective on 21st century trends in library architecture. 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aUrban planning 606 $aInterior architecture 606 $aInteriors 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aArchitects 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aInterior Architecture and Design$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K15007 606 $aUrban Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19160 606 $aArchitects$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K11001 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aUrban planning. 615 0$aInterior architecture. 615 0$aInteriors. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology). 615 0$aArchitects. 615 14$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aInterior Architecture and Design. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aArchitects. 676 $a022.31 700 $aFlannery$b John A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063910 702 $aSmith$b Karen M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298388203321 996 $aEco-Library Design$92540330 997 $aUNINA
