Snøhetta breaks ground on Charlotte library with "translucent prow"

International architecture studio Snøhetta has broken ground on a new public library for Charlotte, North Carolina, which will feature a warped rectangular facade and generous cantilever.
The new 115,000 square foot (10,680 square metre) Charlotte Mecklenburg Library will serve as the city's main library branch, a community space and as a future connection to surrounding theatre buildings.
It will be located on the site of the previous Main Library, which was demolished in August 2023.
