San Antonio Main Public Library
The main objective of the design is to create a library
that speaks to all of the people of San Antonio. The city’s rich
Hispanic heritage becomes a point of departure in this design. Through
the use of courtyards, shaded porticos, and strong simple geometric
forms, a new vocabulary has been created that will be a lasting
contribution to the downtown area. An emphasis on outdoor spaces is
expressed on the roof terraces located on different levels of the
building that are shaded by the 6th floor of the building, while
allowing breezes to pass through.
The office of Sprinkle Robey Architects ( now the separate firms of Robey Architecture, Inc. and Sprinkle & Co.)
was one of the design associates for the architectural
joint venture submitting the winning entry/design in the City sponsored
design competition for the New Main Public Library. Davis Sprinkle
worked with the late Ricardo Legorreta of Mexico City to produce the unanimous choice. Johnson Dempsey and Associates were the principal architects on this project.
