Abstract: The article explores the architectural and social impact of modern libraries, going beyond their traditional function as knowledge repositories. Libraries are transforming into dynamic public spaces that facilitate social interaction. This research suggests a system of qualities associated with the concept of “placemaking” in architectural and urban research. The conducted content analysis of open data confirms the connection of this system with the spatial typology of modern library complexes, particularly their role as cultural and social centers.
