Halifax Central Library on short list for World Building of the Year


The Halifax Central Library has been short-listed to win the World Building of the Year title from the World Architecture Festival.

The library is one of 13 finalists in the Civic and Community section. If it wins, it will compete against winners from 27 other categories for World Building of the Year honours.

The library is one of six nominees from Canada. The Edison Residence and City Fields are representing Montreal. There are also two nominees from Vancouver: the Vancouver House and Nelson on the Park. The Grotto Sauna is representing Toronto.

In January 2014, the Halifax Central Library was named to CNN’s list of “10 eye-popping new buildings that you’ll see in 2014,” the only North American building on the list.

All finalists will be invited to present their project live at the festival in November at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

The committee received more than 700 entries from 47 countries, according to a news release.

That is an enormous contrast and which digger you settle on will have a huge bearing on what occupations you can do with the machine, to what extent it will take, the expense and so on.
