Thanks!
It’s a real shame it’s been sold and the public art is in question; more distressing is that just as we’re trying to reinvigorate the downtown, bring more housing, this much loved and used library branch will disappear, making it harder for the public to access public space.

OPL main branch
OPL main branch
We end at stunning main branch of the OPL; air rights sold above were planned to allow library to expand into it; lease is nearly up/close but decision made to build new; library sold as part of economics of funding new.

Many DT building creates colonnades at ground level to attract and welcome the public, inspired by traditional colonnades in Europe. They are challenged as driveways and other services and access points interrupt the flow of pedestrians.

This used to be a #Brutalist building, cladding was stopped and replaced with glass facade

Hidden #Brutalist gem; recessed courtyard from street provides presence but allows retreat from noise of the street. “An offering back to the city to create public space”
03.05.2025 15:20 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0This was a move away from the all glass post war building to a more comfort level approach; original adverts talked about open floor plans, touted its climate control.

James strutt brutalist building in downtown
As we move into downtown, there was a real embrace of local talent; this, by James Strutt; takes local talent and adapting to modernity.
