Wow! Check out this Library in Alexandra, Egypt. Between the ancient pyramids and the Bibliotheca Alexandria, Egypt now has the best of the old and new. Like a giant discus landed at an angle or an enormous light switch, Alexandria's oceanfront library is arguably the a great design of the new millennium. Completed in 2002, it's inspired by the original Alexandria Library, founded in the 3rd century BC and acclaimed as the greatest of all classical institutions. The building's sloped design represents a second sun rising beside the Mediterranean. The vast rotunda space can hold eight million books.
