Library design - what do you think?

This June summary on #uklibchat collates a number of views on what to look for and what to avoid.

What skills do you require? How do you work with architects, designers and suppliers? How do you respond to changing needs when designing spaces? 

A useful exchange of views via Twitter, with a link to the full chat archive. 

There is also an interesting guest article this month by Bryony Ramsden, University of Huddersfield, on the link between library use and design, accessible on the same website (see link on the right).
