Henry Madden Library
Henry Madden Library at Fresno State University Architect: AC Martin Partners, Los Angeles, CA |
This California State University library sought to embrace the design language of aboriginal central valley people though its synthesis of glass, metal and precast concrete. The patchwork nature of the exterior precast concrete panels creates visual intrigue and conceals the breaks between the panels, evoking the notion that the entire wall is a single unique tapestry. |
