Headquarters of Edwin Bailey (& Sons). E. Bailey had arrived from England as a child, spent a year aboard a ship in the Asia trade, returned possibly already with carpentry skills, opened a shop (on Lake St., where the Carnegie Library was later built), then gradually built up his business, gradually forging a local lumber empire, replete with specialized buildings, such as the Planing Mill (above right). Note these buildings proximity to the rail line (to NYC), undoubtedly aiding in business transactions, bith large and small.

The Berlin Brain, located on the campus of the Free University of Berlin in Germany, is a truly unique library structure. The glass and steel edifice, which contains both active and passive energy-saving designs, is officially named the Philological Library, but has been nicknamed “the Berlin Brain” because of its resemblance to the shape of a human brain.
British architect Norman Foster designed the unusual building, which opened in 2005. The mass of the overall concrete structure acts as a thermal funnel and its double skin canopy and double floor act as an air duct and heat buffer. According to the weather, the building is either heated or cooled by water pipes embedded in the concrete slab floor. The Brain “breathes” to provide better ventilation and regulate the internal temperature by opening or closing the exterior flaps.
