This stunning new Brooklyn library is officially being built and the renderings look beautiful

Last Friday, Brooklyn Public Library officially broke ground on a brand-new Canarsie branch on Rockaway Parkway and the newly released renderings are a masterclass in good library architecture. The two-story, 11,000-square-foot building will double the existing library's public space and stand out as one of New York City's first public buildings constructed with mass timber, a sustainable, low-carbon approach that also happens to look gorgeous.
