Two Striking New Libraries, Inviting in Different Ways
""People protect what they love," Dykers says."
"A set of indecipherable jottings on the glass... turns out to be pseudo-writing, happily abstract and content free."
The Far Rockaway branch of the Queens Public Library stands out with its distinctive orange-glass architecture and whimsical design, notably featuring a triangular portal and abstract art. Designed by Craig Dykers of Snøhetta, the library represents more than mere books; it serves as a neighborhood hub for learning, creativity, and community connection. The building's aesthetic, inspired by local sunsets, along with its protective environment, encourages local pride and engagement, signifying its role as a beacon for residents.
