- This book also aims to establish a theoretical framework for the evolution of library architecture throughout the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although it is a theoretical framework, it is not static at all, and of course it is open to improvements, criticisms and extensions. Yes, with this book I intend to establish a theoretical basis for reflection and study of the architecture of libraries, an area in which there is scarce bibliography in our cultural and geographical area. The evolution of library architecture over the last century and a half reveals the different transformations that library buildings have undergone, adapting to different forms, but above all it has served to respond to different and also changing social and cultural realities specific to each era and each historical moment. Each transformation has implicitly led to a reformulation of the very philosophy of the library, something I consider to be basic and which I have tried to reflect in this book. The essay you have in your hands proposes an evolution divided into 5 major architectural transformations. For each of these five transformations, one or several paradigmatic libraries from all over the world are presented, clearly exemplifying the transformation to which we wish to refer. Each presentation is accompanied by an explanation of its main characteristics in terms of spaces and architecture; finally, to argue this decision based on quotations from external sources and also with its own argument. The result is a chronological and historical evolution that serves to frame and contextualize, ultimately, the fifth and last current transformation of libraries. The book also includes an extensive bibliography that should serve as a starting point for future and new studies on the subject. This expansion and improvement has consisted in the addition of new sections that complement and deepen the arguments already expressed in the first edition of the book, together with the inclusion of new bibliographical references, as well as the presence of an epilogue that, in the manner of a certain philosophical and professional reflection, serves as a closing. In addition, a new prologue has been included to this second edition, by José Pablo Gallo León, librarian, who is one of the best experts in Spain in the field of library architecture, and prolific author of articles on this subject. The prologue to the first edition has also been maintained, by the architect Josep Maria Miró i Gellida -responsible for the Nitidus study- and who is the author of the future Provincial Public Library of Barcelona, still to be built (and which is one of the oldest and most persistent demands of the librarian collective in Catalonia). These prologues can also help to have a much broader and more polyhedral view of this subject.
