Innovative library design

Recently I came across this library design. It's both green and unbelievably cool looking. Some cities like Vancouver and Seattle have done a very good job at creating architecturally noteworthy main libraries, and it seems that such architectural innovation has created vibrant communal spaces in what can be a fractured urban reality. My library system has some very well designed facilities, a few are even architecturally noteworthy, but what we don't have is a prominent main branch. I believe in the branch system (smaller branches diffused throughout the community serving the unique needs of each area), but I think a main branch can help focus attention on the library and serve as a focal point for the community itself. While this library might not be best for my community, I'd love to see what could be done where I live. In fact, there is a main library slated in my municipality's ten year plan--I hope it gets built, and I hope it's something special.
