Samenvatting
addresses the architecture of modern public spaces, and the development of library collections in the age of digital information, in order to discuss the larger social context of libraries as institutions. It provides an insight into their management and how their functions are changing. A conversation with David Pearson, Director of Culture, Heritage and Libraries at the City of London Corporation, opens the discussion with insights into the social role of libraries, their management, and their changing functions. Other contributions include architect João Torres on his ArchiPrix-winning design for Lisbon’s Central Library and Municipal Archive, and writer and architect Jorge Reis on the historical roots of library architecture. Publisher and designer Marie Lécrivain shares her experience using libraries across London, Brussels, Paris, and beyond, while Egyptian journalist Heba El-Sherif discusses ‘the right to know’ and freedom of access to information in post-revolutionary Cairo. Photographer Julius Motal traces the daily interaction between public space and library visitors through a series of photographs taken at NYPL’s famous main branch in Manhattan. Finally, Tom Vandeputte, course director of the MFA Critical Studies at the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam, shares his views on current developments in academic libraries and the implications for the future ‘politics of study’ |
