Understanding libraries is the key to their proper planning.

These critical public facilities must serve the complex needs of the patrons as well as the staff. They must do so while accommodating a potentially infinite collection and an ever-changing technology. Though their building programs are somewhat similar, we have found that each library has unique needs and services.

Through the numerous planning and design projects executed by Arcari & Iovino Architects, P.C., we have gained the indispensable understanding necessary to create an efficient and effective library. We are great listeners and always rely on the intuitive knowledge of the staff and director of each facility to comprehend their needs. Our solutions are a collaboration of these key persons and the firm’s experienced and skilled professionals whom possess the passion for architecture and the art of library design.

Can a pragmatist be a visionary? We think so.

Welcome to a different type of architecture firm, where we confidently advocate practicality in equal measure with creativity. Visionary design does not come from a vacuum. Instead, we think the most memorable architecture results from partnerships — between creative designers, trusted consultants, and most importantly, our clients.

We take the time to learn about our clients’ requirements and expectations. We actively engage them, not just at the start of a project, but as participants throughout the design process. We encourage questions and we seek answers together. We care about enriching the experience of architecture.

Our practice includes education facilities, libraries, community centers, government buildings, and urban design projects. We specialize in projects with a strong sense of collaboration and a keen understanding of the shared goals of project success.

Our process encourages practical solutions and the simple elegance of architecture that is both useful and timeless. We create memorable places that are visually striking, in harmony with their sites, fulfill program requirements, and become sources of public pride.

We create Architecture with Purpose. We are Buell Kratzer Powell.
