Exeter Library celebrates 40 years

The Phillips Exeter Academy Library in Exeter, New Hampshire, U.S., celebrates 40 years (1972-2012).
Louis Kahn structured the library in three concentric square rings. The outer ring, which is built of load-bearing brick, includes all four exterior walls and the library carrel spaces immediately inside them. The middle ring, which is built of reinforced concrete, holds the heavy book stacks. The inner ring is a dramatic atrium with enormous circular openings in its walls that reveal several floors of book stacks.
