MLK Library, Washington
Washington, D.C.’s Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, which recently underwent a $210 million three-year renovation by Netherlands-based Mecanoo and New York firm OTJ Architects, is impressive. The library, which originally opened in 1972, now boasts expanded and updated spaces. The renovation included a dramatic staircase, depicted here, that winds up the library’s six stories. The library — which is just a mile from the White House — expects to welcome a million or more visitors a year.
