Studio背景
The role of libraries have evolved significantly over time, from the storage of institutional histories,as in the Vatican Archives, to the repository of knowledge, as in the Harvard Libraries.
Supported by the rise of city and metropolitan governments as the predominant sponsor of public institutions, libraries today have taken on a new civic function, most notably as one of the last few
remaining spaces in the city that is truly public, in the sense that citizens are welcome to come and hang out without a distinct purpose or function.
