On the design of the Health Sciences Library/Information Services building at the University of Maryland at Baltimore.
The architect provides his perspective on issues in designing a new library building, including: civic and urbanistic purposes of the building; the process of analysis and synthesis; and the place and meaning of 'library' today. Special attention is given to adjacencies, reader services, space devoted to the study of change, administration, and presentation and itinerary. A verbal floor-by-floor tour of the building is provided.
