Library as Stoa is a reflection on the building design and construction in essays and photographs of Snohetta's Charles Library at Temple University.
The library demonstrates the role of public space and innovation in architecture.
By using an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) for the storage of Temple's entire collection which includes two million books on site, the Charles Library was designed to balance the amount of space for books vs.
people, and significantly increase the so.
