EXEMPLARY LIBRARIES The American Institute of Architects and the American Library Association have announced the eight recipients of the 2009 AIA/ALA Library Building Awards. One winning project is the Guanajuato State Library Wigberto Jiménez Moreno in León, Mexico, by Pei Partnership Architects (photo by Alberto Moreno Guzmán). "What a noble building," commented the jury. "The exteriors are extraordinary and there is great integration with the landscape." Next week we'll look at this and the other award recipients.
