Library de Kimpel

Published January 15, 2019 | By Michael Lieberman

Belgium’s Library de Kimpel is the latest library featured at arch daily. Designed by Adem Architecten the new library was part of a master plan that included turning the existing library into offices and an exhibition center and the construction of a new youth center. The project was completed in 2015.

The interior of the library is designed and organized around 5 subject areas: Music, Literature and Poetry, Lifestyle and Sport, Art and Architecture and Travel.
