14 Literary Structures

From Latticed Libraries to Outdoor Book Rooms

— November 10, 2009 — Art & Design
I have to admit that I'm afraid of the day that technology takes over, resulting in the extinction of library facilities. There are many who probably share this concern and so I have created a cluster of literary structures in the hopes that they will never die. This cluster does, however, give me hope because it seems that designers and architects are still interested in building literary structures around the globe.
