Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects has won the commission for a 30,000 square meter library in the Municipality of Aarhus, Denmark. According to the firm, their design reassesses traditional concepts of library design, calling it "a hub of social interaction, incorporating interior and exterior recreational spaces for studying, socializing, and relaxing." The building can also host multi-media and cultural events.
