Part of the Scottsdale Public Library system; each of Scottsdale?s branches is named after a breed of horse. Architect James Richärd and his partner, interior designer Kelly Bauer created a place that connects strongly with the natural landscape. The designers were inspired in particular by the local geology of the desert slot canyon: the deep and narrow sandstone ravines, carved by rushing water, that are such striking features of the southwest. The unique program of the library is based on contemporary bookstore concepts, and includes a popular library with a 120,000 volume collection as well as coffee bar and bookstore elements. The program also includes a children?s program room, two multipurpose rooms, computer training center and a dedicated teen area. It is LEED certified; and won the 2008 International Interior Design Association/Metropol is Smart Environments Award. (Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily .com/)

The indigenous landscaping of the specimen palo verde tree in the courtyard sets off a site-specific artwork by Seattle artist Norie Sato, which consists of a steel-and-glass-appl iqué relief and a freestanding sculpture, both based upon the skeletal structure of the prickly pear cactus.
