Libraries are cooler than Walmarts
So Today The City of Miami might decide on the future of Midtown, that is, the Walmart that everybody has been talking about. A Walmart has never been known to revitalize a neighborhood. A library has. Recently a library in Texas gathered a lot of buzz. It is the largest single story library in the country, and why? Because the McAllen Public Library is a repurposed abandoned Walmart. The building has won several awards and it really is a beauty to look at, especially when you picture the dullness that inhabited it before.
Wouldn’t it be great to turn our future Walmart into a library before it even is a Walmart? Definitely a crazy and unrealistic dream right now, but here are some of the coolest libraries around the world. Just something to look at instead of thinking about Walmart.
1. The Kansas City Public Library
2. National Technical Library in Prague
3.The Salt Lake City Public Library
5. Jose Vasconcelos Library, México
Have you seen what the new Museum of Science will look like? It is set to open in early 2015. Looks like it will be worth the wait. The building will include a planetarium, aquarium, educational facilities, and plenty of indoor and outdoor flexible space.
They just announced that they are looking for a design firm to develop their brand and are accepting proposals. To find out more and keep up with the building progress visit the Miami Science Museum blog.

“At first, there seems a discrepancy: we hear incessant talk of low job growth and economic distress, but see people tapping expensive smartphones and buying the latest social-mobile app. Indeed, the technology and design industries seem unaffected by the recession, set to continue on the same course of planned obsolescence they’ve been on for decades. But a second look reveals that advances in these sectors are helping people adjust to life in a pared-down economy, in a world where the environment has become a main concern. Our recession isn’t happening in a vacuum, and advances in design and technology, paired with an economy in flux, are changing the definition of both work and the workplace.”
