Different from my other work, I still can't help but like this shot. It's from the interior of the Seattle Public Library. Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN were the principal architects.
Now we are going to the library :)
The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.
The Huntington Library, Art Museum and Botanical Gardens is a collections-based educational and research institution established by Henry E. Huntington and his wife in San Marino, California. In addition to the library, the institution houses an extensive art collection with a focus on 18th and 19th century European art and 17th to mid-20th century American art. The property also has specialized botanical landscaped gardens. The Huntington's botanical gardens cover 120 acres (49 ha) and showcase plants from around the world. The gardens are divided into more than a dozen themes, including the Australian Garden, Camellia Collection, Desert Garden, Herb Garden, Japanese Garden, Lily Ponds, Palm Garden, Rose Garden, the Shakespeare Garden, Subtropical and Jungle Garden, and the Chinese Garden.

Powoli zbliżamy się do biblioteki :)
Budynek biblioteki został zaprojektowany w 1920 roku przez architekta z południowej Kalifornii Myrona Hunta w stylu śródziemnomorskiego odrodzenia. Biblioteka zawiera pokaźny zbiór rzadkich książek i rękopisów, głównie z dziedziny brytyjskiej i amerykańskiej historii, literatury, sztuki i historii nauki. Najważniejsze pozycje w zbiorach to jedna z kopii Biblii Gutenberga (z 1455 r.) oraz listy i rękopisy George'a Washingtona, Thomasa Jeffersona, Benjamina Franklina i Abrahama Lincolna. Biblioteka posiada też rękopis autobiografii Benjamina Franklina i osobistą kopię "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica "Isaaca Newtona z własnoręcznymi adnotacjami autora. W głównej sali wystawowej biblioteki prezentowane są jedne z najwybitniejszych rzadkich książek i rękopisów w kolekcji, podczas gdy w zachodniej sali biblioteki odbywają się wystawy rotacyjne.
Biblioteka Huntingtona, Muzeum Sztuki i Ogrody Botaniczne to instytucja edukacyjna i badawcza oparta na zbiorach, założona przez Henry'ego E. Huntingtona i jego żonę w San Marino w Kalifornii. Oprócz biblioteki instytucja posiada bogatą kolekcję dzieł sztuki, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sztuki europejskiej XVIII i XIX wieku oraz sztuki amerykańskiej od XVII do połowy XX wieku. Wokół biblioteki rozciągają się specjalistyczne ogrody botaniczne, które zajmują powierzchnię ok. 49 ha i prezentują rośliny z całego świata. Ogrody są podzielone na kilkanaście tematów, w tym ogród australijski, kolekcja kamelii, ogród pustynny, ogród ziołowy, ogród japoński, stawy liliowe, ogród palmowy, ogród różany, ogród szekspirowski, ogród subtropikalny i dżungla oraz ogród chiński.

A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.
This is Vancouver, Washington's latest addition to the library system I photographed about 2 years ago.

The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.
Panorama mode on the iPhone required, as normal photo just couldn’t get wide enough to include the tram and the Library building together

The library of Celsus is an ancient Roman building in Ephesus, Anatolia, now part of Selçuk, Turkey. It was built in honour of the Roman Senator Tiberius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus[ (completed in 135 AD) by Celsus' son, Gaius Julius Aquila (consul, 110 AD). The library was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a mausoleum for Celsus, who is buried in a crypt beneath the library.
The interior of the library was destroyed, supposedly by an earthquake in 262 A.D., and the façade by another earthquake in the tenth or eleventh century A.D. It lay in ruins for centuries, until the façade was re-erected (anastylosis) by archaeologists between 1970 and 1978. (From Wikipedia)
The other side. Actually I was lost and was going round and round around the library!

My agent was just here taking photos of the house for the listing. I took some of my own, because we've done ALOT of work in the past week.
The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. The building was designed by the dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin.

The doorway with the clock above it takes you into the Hornby Library ( named after Hugh Frederick Hornby ) which was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
Construction of Grinnell Library was completed in 1887. Grinnell hired a New York City architect, and supplied a list of architectural features he wanted to include. The tower is modeled after one he saw in St. Battenberg, Switzerland, and the way the second story overhangs the first recalls buildings he liked in Chester, England. More info at:
