Story: Each time I see this Peckham Library it makes me begin to wonder what the planners intended to achieve with this inverted L-shape building. Am yet to see any sense in this it. On a very personal note this building is an architectural disgrace and nonsense. Others however do not share same opinion with me. The building has been acclaimed as a masterpiece by many. The Peckham Library in strictly architectural terms is a rehash of the design Alsop & Stormer made in 1993 for the Welsh National Literature Centre planned for Swansea. It was rejected by the Welsh National Assembly. Swansea’s loss became Peckham’s gain.
