Another Perkins Eastman building that caught my eye was the Chongqing Library in Chongqing, China. I love the all glass look with different shapes as the building connects and the pond view from the glass. They wanted to modernized the traditional Chinese courtyard and they provided scenic views from cafes and reading rooms. This library is 540,000 square feet making it a huge space for many to come study and access the library and their technology. I think when buildings have glass walls, it is a more welcoming place. I think more people want go there for a big open view and its peaceful. Having natural light is something I have always admired about a building.
