One of Michael Graves' first non-domestic commissions, this
regional library is located across the street from the Mission of San Juan
Capistrano and near the center of the old town. In this small one-story building (about 12000
square feet) Graves borrows from the local Spanish idiom, using stucco walls,
mission clay roof tiles, wooden beams, mini-towers, small punched windows,
light monitors, stencil ornament, and loggias around a central courtyard.
