Located in central area of Mexico City, The José Vasconcelos Library is a work of art – its glass walls invite the outside in. Its design belongs to the Mexican architect Alberto Kalach. His project wins an international competition in which 590 proposals were submitted by firms from all over the world. 
Recently concluded the library houses an initial heap of 500,000 volumes distributed in crystal shelves that hang from the five levels of the building.
