London?s Foster + Partners will likely design a flagship Apple store for the historic Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square in Washington, D.C., reports The Architect?s Newspaper. According to Events DC, Apple will lease a portion of the 63,000-square-foot building?s ground floor and basement levels in a ten-year lease, sharing the space with its existing tenant, The Historical Society of Washington. This is an extremely important repositioning of an iconic building?a building whose original purpose was about community, information and sharing of knowledge, said Max Brown, chairman of the board of Events DC. Amid rapid change in our city, we are confident the space can become a true blend of the square?s past and future.
