Summary:
Mecanoo’s founder and creative director, Francine Houben, believes that public buildings are the social and cultural heart of society and states: “Public buildings need public space and should be welcoming to everybody.” The prime example of this vision is the Library of Birmingham, one of the largest libraries in Europe at the city’s main Centenary Square. Mecanoo aimed to design a building that is inviting welcoming and inspiring for people of all ages and backgrounds - a real public building that also creates an outdoor public space. The circular amphitheatre in the square reveals a glimpse of the inner library world to the public and sets the tone as a performance space.

Summary:
Parmi les villes «héroïques» qui se réinventent pour renaître de la crise, Birmingham cumulait les handicaps, défigurée par la guerre et l'urbanisme moderniste, dévastée par la dépression industrielle. Sa renaissance spectaculaire repose sur une stratégie, conduite depuis plus de vingt ans, pour attirer le tourisme d'affaires et donner une priorité absolue au centre-ville, élargi, vivifié, embelli. Les moyens sont pragmatiques : des projets publics ambitieux qui dynamisent l'investissement privé, transformant la ville en lieu ludique et commercial de premier plan. Les partenariats public/privé, pratiqués depuis longtemps au Royaume-Uni, sont riches d'enseignements, y compris pour interroger leurs conséquences sur la qualité urbaine et la cohésion sociale.
