Few librarians build more than one library in their careers and renovating or building a whole new library is a very expensive investment. Thus, new or refurbished structures need to be fresh and up to date. While some librarians have the means to visit exemplary buildings as they develop their own library’s master plan, most library leaders and stakeholders won’t actually see the full range of potential projects.

"The architecture of George Nikolajevich exhibits a remarkable balance between restraint and expression. Working in St. Louis, far from the country's coasts of architectural fashion, he has created a body of work that delivers modernist elan and formal invention. The nature of Nikolajevich's work flows from his position as a design principal of Cannon Design. Nikolajevich has been encouraged to carve out a special niche, turning his strength into a firm strength. In the process, he has designed an impressive number of buildings that combine a sense of Midwestern thrift and practicality with a flair for sophisticated design. His architecture has developed a growing affinity to that of the great architects Erik Gunnar Asplund and Alvar Aalto. Like Asplund's work, Nikolajevich's buildings have a quiet sculptural quality that impresses us with their economy of means. Sometimes less is, indeed, more. And like Aalto, Nikolajevich has demonstrated a humanist's touch with simple materials."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
