Model Answer Writing If I were an architect, I would build a library. I like going into libraries because I love books. So, I would build something that people would enjoy. I like large, older buildings. I also like high ceilings. So, I would want it to look like it was built many years ago. I would build it in a small town. I would also build it near a river or a lake. People could enjoy sitting or reading outside. The library would be one large room. It would be a circular shaped area with high ceilings. I would build a skylight so it would always be bright. The books would be on shelves on all the walls. There would be tables in the middle of the room. This is where people could study. There would also be comfortable couches and chairs. This is where people could read. So, if I were an architect, I would build a library in a small town. People would come to enjoy the books and the atmosphere.
