I am fairly certain building technology in the 70s would not allow you to get a building that look remotely similar to what the illustration suggests. You'd need ultra-clear glass for that. What you are likely to end up with is a mirrored glass box.
I wonder whether transparent library walls would be any more desirable than transparent museum walls where it comes to preserving a collection.
