The Hunters Point Library was proposed 15 years before it was finally finished being built. Steven Hall won the competition for the design, but it is believed it took so long to build because the city gives the contract to build the design to the lowest bidder. The lowest bidder often times has problems finishing builds and they are still given projects. The library is 22,000 square feet and was finished it 2019. It is a public library located off the river in Queens New York and is also a public park. It as an aluminum-painted concrete shell its windows pull in natural light. The inside is made of bamboo which creates a warm atmosphere. There is a ground level auditorium and a terrace on the roof which creates amazing views of the city. The inside of the library is very open and flows which makes for the most energy efficient design and the greatest amount of public green space.
