    The new central library in Salt Lake City, Utah was designed with a large public plaza intended to become a downtown gathering space, accommodating both large crowds and intimate visits. Three water features were incorporated into the plaza's design to provide different experiences, including a reflecting pool, waterwall, and granite water sculpture that allows both playful wading and a cascading torrent. The library also includes a sunken garden for visual reprieve and shade from the granite plaza, along with a rooftop garden displaying native plants and mountain views.

    SALT LAKE CITY LIBRARY

    Utah

    The plaza for this new central library was intended to become a focus for public urban gathering downtown. It is designed to accommodate large crowds but also provides intimate spaces for visitors. Three water features identify different experiences in the plaza, including a reecting pool by the Library, a waterwall in the Childrens Garden and a granite water sculpture that allows playful wading at one end and offers the white noise of a torrential cascade at the other. The sunken wedge garden provides visual reprieve and shade shelter from the large granite plaza, while a promontory-like rooftop garden displays native plants and gives dramatic views to the Wasatch Mountains.
