Architype, one of the UK's leading architectural practices working at the forefront of sustainable design, have recently won a competition for a new library for the delightful Herefordshire town of Ledbury. Renowned for its medieval, timber box-framed buildings, Ledbury's historic character can also be gleaned from the fact that, when built, the library will feature the town's first lift! Architype's design is a thoroughly contemporary reinterpretation of the repeated gables found on several of the town's finest old buildings, and when you look a little closer you notice that it is intended to feature images from the earth database. I am looking forward to seeing how the project develops.
