New Library in Almere - Design.nlThe building itself, designed by Meyer & Van Schooten, is triangular in plan and is set on a sloping site with a six-metre change in height from one side to the other. Inside, the architects solved the height difference with a series of stepped terraces — Kleinenberg calls them ‘paddy fields’— separated by sinuous contour lines. Winding bookshelves (5000 running metres in all) follow the edges of the terraces and organise the interior into different zones for different types of customer.
