In 2019 when we tried to tackle the future of the East Bank, Save CII wailed and gnashed their teeth about all the amazing ideas that people were ignoring. Well it’s 5 years later and we’re still crowdsourcing ideas for the library and all we’ve come up for CII is “bluer roof.”
@CityofWichita has reopened their “Request for Proposals / RPF” on how to reuse the old Public library downtown.
What is your best idea? Let’s hear it below 👇
(For serious ideas, be sure to submit your idea before February 2nd on the Wichita.gov site)
Idk trampoline park or indoor playground or something like that

"Gerard Kleinsmith says he hates the idea of censorship.
He just wants to pull the lease for the city’s public library because he doesn’t like books about transgender people."
🤔
The public library has been under scrutiny from local officials for months, narrowly surviving an attempt to pull the lease at the end of last year.

If this story is right, then a group of people made a false assumption concerning an easily checked fact - what the rainbow infinity flag represents - and decided being anti-gay was more important than knowing facts. Gross.

Strongly structured panels on the façade and deep setbacks+projecting building elements create an interplay of light and shadow on different scales.
