A gem in the forest: Shanghai Library East opens
Designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen, part of our Shanghai studio, Shanghai Library East is one of the world’s largest libraries. Today, we celebrate its grand opening.
“This important cultural center for the citizens of Shanghai embraces the idea of ‘collection to connection’—a space to bring people together. It’s the city’s gift to them,” says Chris Hardie, design director of our combined SHL/Perkins&Will Shanghai studio.
