And the winner is – New York architect Robert A.M. Stern, Robert A.M. Stern Architects is a 300-person firm of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and supporting staff. The decision was made after Mr. Stern met with Mr. Bush last week at Mr. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. The location for the library has not yet been announce by the president, neither has the overall design and concept.

It appears that the people of Texas are pissed with the president for not choosing a Texas architect, WildBill drop a comment on chron.com and said;” Toilet paper is about the only thing that resembled a book that Bush came in contact with during his failed presidency.”

Just look at the amount of hate comments in any given blog or forum, President Bush will go down in history as the most hated american president in the world.

Stern also is dean of the Yale School of Architecture.

For those that are not familiar with the United States Presidential library system, according to Wikipedia:

In the United States, the Presidential library system is a nationwide network of libraries administered by the Office of Presidential Libraries, which is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). These are not libraries in the modern sense, but rather repositories for preserving and making available the papers, records, collections and other historical materials of every President of the United States since Herbert Hoover.
