Active Assignment Weekly Sept. 19 - 26: Hugging the Curves
WIT: These are the steps of the library. Took the shot, cropped to square, and desaturated a little in photoshop.
The public library in Seattle has an impressive architecture. This is a shot from an upper floor down to the entrance floor. People are looking for references in shelves with cards. There is a carpet with a tangle pattern.

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.
Phil Tramdeck, a great man with unique vision. He loves this couch and fought hard to preserve it, I will miss him.
Cragside is the country home of William George Armstrong, a 19th Century engineer who is responsible for a number of inventions and amassed great wealth as a builder of weapons and ships. Cragside was the first private home in the world to have electric lighting supplied by an hydraulic turbine generator and the system was designed by Armstrong.
Armstrong also purchased Bamburgh castle late in his life and spent 1 million GBP in turning it into a convalescent home for "the right sort of people". And during the American Civil War, he sold arms to both sides.
Since Lord Armstrong had no children, he left his empire to his nephew who proceeded to lose it all and go into debt in only 10 years! The up side is that he had no money to make any alterations to Cragside, so the house and contents are much as they were when Lord Armstrong and his wife lived there.

Powell Library is the main college undergraduate library on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). It was constructed from 1926 to 1929 and was one of the original four buildings that comprised the UCLA campus in the early period of the university's life. Its Romanesque Revival architecture design, its historic value and its popularity with students make it one of the defining images of UCLA. Like the building facing it across the quad, Royce Hall, the building's exterior is modeled after Milan's Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio.

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.

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.
Domed expansion/addition by architects Mosher Drew was completed in 1997. Original library project completed in 1970, and named for university president Malcolm A. Love in 1971.
This is Vancouver, Washington's latest addition to the library system I photographed about 2 years ago.
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.
