Architecture Library by Kazumi Kudo and Hiroshi Horiba company Coelacanth K & H Architects , in Kanazawa, Japan. The design features translucent windows that fill each hole, and make the diffusion of natural light to the reading room with 12 feet high, in the library Umimirai Kanazawa. The main reading room, occupies the entire first floor, overlooked by a mezzanine containing areas of informal reading corner and a craft. Libraries in Japan are moving toward a model that encourages readers to get and stay, instead of its original function as spaces for the collection and borrow books.
