Although anyone with Internet access can do a quick search online, nothing replaces a brick-and-mortar public library for quality resources and info -- yet these centers are consistently overlooked by city policymakers.

After setting up an RFQ for the Re-Envisioning Branch Libraries Design Study in New York, the Architectural League and the Center for an Urban Future selected five interdisciplinary teams out of 45 submissions.

They are:

  • Andrew Berman Architect | Library Development Solutions
 | Neil Donnelly | AEA Consulting | Auerbach Pollock Friedlander
  • Marble Fairbanks with James Lima Planning + Development and Special Project Office
  • MASS Design Group 
  • SITU Studio
  • UNION

The selection committee in choosing the five teams featured:

  • Seema Agnani, Chhaya Community Development Corporation
  • Sarah Goldhagen, The New Republic
  • Shannon Mattern, The New School, Henry Myerberg, HMA2
  • Lyn Rice, Rice+Lipka Architects
  • members of The Architectural League and Center for an Urban Future project teams

The results of the study will present new architectural, financial, and programmatic innovations to support New York's three library branches.

The Center for an Urban Future will release a new report on librariesʼ capital needs and recommendations on how to address these needs later this July."
