ABSTRACT

The research aims to analyze the architectural trends of the public library buildings that have recently won the AIA/ALA Library Building Awards, ALA/IIDA Library Interior Design Awards or have introduced as excellent examples among the cases of new construction or remodeling of public libraries in North America. The research seeks to find the implications and guidelines for new constructions or remodeling of Korean public libraries by analyzing the main features of recently awarded library constructions, and to suggest the directions of public library constructions (or remodeling) to be opened in the future. The research found the six significant emergent themes by the content analysis and explained what each theme means with the examples of the libraries. On the basis of the findings, the research suggests the directions of public library designs and constructions in the future, and further follow-up research topics.
