Suzhou No.2 Libary / gmp
At the end of 2019, the Suzhou No. 2 Library will be opened to the north of the historic Suzhou city center. This means that this traditional cultural city will have more than ?just? a new library. Embedded in a new park landscape, the new library building with its integrated specialist libraries, collections, and exhibition rooms also fulfills the functions of a culture center. The key feature of the library is the intelligent storage system with a capacity of seven million books?the first in the country. The architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) had won the competition and received the commission in 2014.
