<br/><br/>  "The age of multimedia constitutes a great challenge for         libraries as they have to reinvent themselves to meet the         constantly growing demands of digital applications. As a         result, within the past decade, libraries have evolved         from introverted hoards of knowledge to globally networked        information and communication hubs. The architectural         implementation of this transformation process has resulted        in sophisticated buildings that succeed in combining         impressive architecture with the complex contemporary         requirements. The new edition of 'Masterpieces: Library         Architecture + Design' shows that this process of         transformation is far from over. Whether new building,         conversion or extension, it presents new masterpieces of         library design from around the world. The successful         combination of contemporary architecture and cutting-edge         technology is evidence that in the digital age, this type         of building is as topical as never before."--Web page for         this work
