Bristol Central Library
5 savesWishlisted by Michelle
A traditional and humble take on a library. Bristol Central Library serves the public as any straight to the point library should. The Baroque stylings of the past are still seen, but for the most part, the library has taken a more modern approach, blending in with the rest of common English buildings. In addition to keeping up with the modern era, the library prides itself with their interactive hexagonal book display that highlights people's physical presence among books. With over 400 books attached, a sensor recognizes human movement, and then the books will move along with you. It's the library's way of showing the world that physical books can coexist with the technology and that library have a future with the current generation.

The architectural styles in the Bristol Central Library have moved on from Baroque, refining its grandeur to a more elegant and understated look. The library still has soft curving archways and column pillars in abundance, but there are cleaner lines and white spaces to refresh the eyes. It’s a classic English building, something you’d imagine straight from the “The Chronicles of Narnia.” The Bristol Central Library serves the public, with a few restricted areas. Feel free to get lost in the labyrinthine hallways as you explore its secret corners or throw yourself into another adventure between a book’s pages.
