status completed in 1992

description On a small site in a low-density setting in Morrow, Georgia, Scogin Elam & Bray make a branch library into an icon, calling attention to itself from far away. Inventive uses of materials, shapes, and colours give life and activity to a building type that is often otherwise considered a prudish temple of knowledge.
