Synopsis

The British Library at St. Pancras is one of the world's largest and most complex buildings. Opened in April 1998 after being 35 years in design and construction, years which were beset by controversy, it is the major public monument built in the UK in the second half of the twentieth century. Designed by Colin St. John Wilson and Partners, it is much praised, indeed loved, by those who use and visit it, for it is highly successful, not just practically, but in a deeper sense of use through the way it impinges upon its visitors senses and sense of themselves.
In a series of interwoven written and photographic essays this book describes the building, the experience of the building and the origins of the architecture. This will be of interest to those who have a general interest in current debates about architecture and our culture and to specialist librarians, professional and academic architects, arts and architectural historians and other building professionals.
