MLK Jr. Library; Presentations for Redesign
UPDATE: NBC Channel 4' Tom Sherwood is reporting that DCPL has picked Mecanoo, Martinez & Johnson Architecture for the redesign of the Martin Luther King Jr Library. (see last set of renderings in this article) So I guess that means that there will be very little change to the libraries exterior. The design concept will also add residential and commercial space. The new residential addition will be on three levels (see pic below) adding to the buildings height, and will be made up of studio's, one and two-bedroom
apartments.The announcement will come tomorrow Tuesday 18th February. (It's now Official 2/18/14)
The D.C. Public Library released renderings Friday (2/7/2014) by the three architectural teams selected to present their ideas for the redesign of the Martin Luther King Jr. Library (Note: All the designs will be on display at the MLK Library, neighborhood libraries. There is a public meeting on Feb. 15 at 10 a.m. at the Martin Luther King Library).
The three teams are;
Here are the renderings from the three presentations;
1. STUDIOS Architecture, The Freelon Group
2. Patkau Architects, Ayers Saint Gross, Krueck & Sexton Architects

More to come on this as things move forward
Just so we're clear: The concept by @mjarchitecture & @mecanoo_ tweeted a few minutes ago is not THE design. It's an idea for #mlkfuture.
