If more libraries were like the 'Winds of Change' Library,' I'd feel more inclined to step inside one. Taking the form of a gorgeous white and curvy design by the talented Michael Jantzen, this sustainable building will blow you away with its wind-powered abilities.
Included in this renewable wind-energized 'Winds of Change Library' will be plenty of natural lighting and ventilation and a large garden of grass, plants and trees.
Implications - It's always impressive to see an architect who is willing to combine key aspects of the new contemporary eco-conscious society we live in and design. Hopefully this starts a trend that takes root with other architects and city planners.
