William Alsop & Jan Störmer designed the new Peckham Public Library in London, England, winner of the 2008 Stirling Prize. It opened in 2000.
Angled steel columns support the inverted 'L' shaped structure, which is clad in pre-patinaed copper panels. The cantilever shelters an exterior plaza which is open to the public air yet removed from the noisy street. A red blobs appears overhead to indicate the blob-like nature of the interior. Wood "pods," rather than rooms, organize the interior space. In the rear, planes of colored glass leave an unexpected and indelible element to the project.
'The Elements' by Duncan Hooson sculpture blobs into the Peckham Square, with the Peckham Pulse is a health and fitness centre facing the library like an architectural brother (shown below). The library has rejuvenated this run-down section of the urban city and will continue to do so by inspiring architecture of that area.
