Salt Lake City Public Library–Architecture Pictures

by Keith & Jana Stanley (copyright 2004)

The new Salt Lake City Public Library building (which opened early 2003), designed by architect Moshe Safdie, is probably the best public library building I’ve ever experienced, at least in terms of modern architecture and amenities.  In addition to the books, the views, and the aesthetic experience, one can find working fireplaces, a rooftop garden, and shopping (including the all-essential coffee shop).  The following pictures were taken on a cloudy December afternoon:
