The role of libraries in contemporary society is under review not only because of the arrival of new computer devices, but also because of the establishment of the ÔtakeawayÕ society. Thus it looks like the pilgrimage that used to take us from the couch to the library has come to an end with a simple click on the download icon. This issue deals with various libraries in Astana by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group), in Musashino by Sou Fujimoto, in Kortrijk by REX, in Spijkenisse by MVRDV, in Vila-real by OAB, and in C—rdoba by Paredes & Pedrosa. Also projects by Toyo Ito: the Architecture Museum in Imabari, the Dance Palace in St. Petersburg by UNStudio, and the Parliament in Lausanne by Bonell & Gil.
