Phillips Exeter Library Named One of '10 Mind-Bending Libraries' in the World

The Phillips Exeter Academy Library was recently named one of 10 "mind-bending libraries from around the world" in a story by FoxNews.com.

The story listed 10 libraries from around the world designed by some of the world's greatest architects that will "expand your mind even if you never pick up a book."

According to the FoxNews.com story, "Phillips Exeter Academy Library was designed by renowned American architect Louis Kahn in 1965. Kahn structured the library in three concentric square rings, each one made from a different material, to give the visitor the sense that they are passing through buildings within buildings."

Other libraries included on the list are the Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland, the New York Public Library and the Geisel Library at the University of California in San Diego.
