Geisel Library at UC San Diego

Geisel Library, designed by architect William Pereira and completed in 1970, is UC San Diego's main library noted for its striking futuristic concrete-and-glass design. The building's distinctive silhouette is frequently photographed and used in online posts and image macros that reference dystopian, sci-fi, or 'futuristic campus' themes. The library's architecture has been widely documented in news articles, architecture guides, and social media.
