AMO OMA

The new Seattle Public Library houses the library's main collection of books, government publications, periodicals, audio visual materials and the technology to access and distribute information from the physical collection online.
The building is divided into eight horizontal layers, each varying in size to fit its function. A structural steel and glass skin unifies the multifaceted form and defines the public spaces in-between.
Situated on a sloping site between 4th and 5th street the new library will have entrances on both street levels.
The entrance level on 4th Street, one of Seattle's main thoroughfares, houses the Children's Library and foreign-language resources.
Rows of escalators lead to the 5th Street "Living Room" lobby located under a 50-foot-high sloping glass wall. The lobby can also be reached directly from a covered walkway than runs the length of the 5th Avenue facade.

The carpeted "Living Room" contains the fiction stacks while non-fiction are located on the "Dewey Ramp"; a four-story ramp that allows people to browse through books in a continuos sequence.
The Reading room, on the top floor, has views of Puget Sound and the surrounding mountains.

Koolhaas sees the new library as a custodian of the book, a showcase for new information, a place for thought, discussion and reflection - a dynamic presence.
The fact that the contents of a whole library can be stored on a single chip, or the fact that a single library can now store the digital content of all libraries, together represent potential rethinking: new forms of storage enable the space dedicated to real books to be contained; new forms of reading enhance the aura of the real book.
Our first operation has been the "combining" and consolidation of the apparently ungovernable proliferation of programs and media. By combining like with like, we have identified five platforms, each a programmatic cluster that is architecturally defined and equipped for maximum, dedicated performance. Because each platform is designed for a unique purpose, they are different in size, density, opacity.
The in-between spaces are like trading floors where librarians inform and stimulate, where the interface between the different platforms is organized - spaces for work, interaction, and play. (And reading).

ARCHIVO DIGITAL DE TODA SU OBRA

L a Fundación Alejandro de la Sota se constituyó mediante escritura notarial el 2 de abril de 1997. Fue aprobada en la Orden Ministerial del Ministerio de Educación y Cultura del 25 de abril de 1997 con el número 459 y publicada en el Boletín Oficial del Estado del 13 de mayo de 1997.
La Fundación Alejandro de la Sota nace por tres razones: La necesidad de conservar en las mejores condiciones su archivo profesional, la obligación de tenerlo disponible para la consulta por parte de estudiantes, profesores y de cuantos arquitectos se interesen por su obra y, por último, el deseo de su divulgación. Tres aspectos que eran también parte importante de las actividades de su estudio desde hacía años: se quiere dar así una continuidad también al espacio en donde Alejandro de la Sota trabajó en los últimos treinta años. Es, inevitablemente, otra época en la que aprenderemos a hablar de sus obras sin su presencia, a conservar su archivo y su mundo, sin su recreación y sin la tensión y la confianza que daba su permanente mirada nueva hacia adelante. Crear una fundación no es otra cosa que el deseo de compartir este esfuerzo y, en su ausencia, de objetivarlo.
