Mies Van Der Rohe — Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (MLKML) is the central facility of the District of Columbia Public Library. Mies van der Rohe designed the 400,000 square foot, steel, brick, and glass structure, and it is a rare example of modern architecture in Washington, D.C. It is an amazing tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. and could not have been done better by any other architect. It is important the structure is in Washington D.C. because it is such an important city in America. The MLK Jr. Memorial Library is a structure that should be viewed and revered by all Americans.
