Dezeen Debate features "instant icon" library by Heatherwick Studios

The latest edition of our Dezeen Debate newsletter features Heatherwick Studio's designs for its first public library, a plant-covered building in Maryland, US. Subscribe to Dezeen Debate now.
Heatherwick Studio envisions the building, planned for the 1960s community of Columbia near Baltimore, acting not only as a library but also as a community centre and events space.
The library will be topped with a series of interconnected, walkable roofs that will be covered with grass and trees
