Description
Article spotlights the Kansas City Public Library's "larger-than-life" Community Bookshelf parking garage at 10th and Baltimore. The bookshelf design decorates the south facade of the garage and looks like 22 books shelved side-by-side, each spine standing nearly 30 feet tall. The structure, designed by 360 Architects and BNIM Architects, has won several awards and will be featured in an exhibit on parking garages at the National Building Museum in Washington D.C.
