The Idea Stores concept continues to attract worldwide attention ten years on from the first Idea Store at Bow, with a new Idea Store planned as a model of a 'marketplace of information' in Tower Hamlets. Designing Libraries has published a review of the Idea Store concept from the point of view of the designer, architects Bisset Adams, and from the perspective of the library practitioner.
You can download the full illustrated article, wirtten by Sergio Dogliano and Sarah Godowski, from the Designing Libraries website: http://www.designinglibraries.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=242
This is the first of a continuing series of specially commisioned original features that Designing Libraries plans to publish on its website. Designing Libraries is a library community resource and welcomes new library news, suggestions for features and additions to its database of new libraries and refurbishments.
