The American Institute of Architects[2] (AIA) and the American Library Association[3] (ALA) are awarding four libraries with the 2020 AIA/ALA Library Building Awards for excellence in architectural design.
The AIA/ALA Library Building Award recipients must demonstrate design achievement, including a sense of place, purpose, ecology, environmental sustainability, and history. This year’s award recipients, selected by a six-person jury, exemplify these qualities.
The 2020 AIA/ALA Library Building Awards recipients are:
- Capilano Library (Edmonton, Alta.) by Patkau Architects Inc.[4] and Group2 Architecture Interior Design Inc.[5];
- Billie Jean King Main Library (Long Beach, California) by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP[6];
