Celebration of Minnesota Authors and Illustrators:

The work of renowned Minnesota authors has been shared and read around the world. Sinclair Lewis F. Scott Fitzgerald Garrison Keillor and Kate DiCamillo and Laura Ingalls Wilder all called Minnesota home. To honor the Minnesota legacy of writing and illustration several installations celebrating this tradition were integrated into the library design. Interior environmental graphics showcase the work of children’s book illustrators. A translucent backlit marquee announces the east entry with a full height graphic. As one approaches the entry the names of Minnesota authors are overlaid onto the graphic for the full height of the marquee.

室内空间灵活性与场所的构成

建筑的大型单层楼板有着白色的折叠室内表面 ， 虽然空间的高度灵活性对于功能而言至关重要 ， 但是建筑师为多人交流和私人场所都进行了精心的设计 。 开放式的平面布局通过三个木制体量分成不同尺度的空间 ， 这些木制体量主要用作学习室、办公室、陈列室 。
