National Library of Latvia
Riga
"Looking at the building we see an intriguing form. It is visually attractive to us. What is it like? It is expressive. It is a library, a functional symbol. It is a reminder of an outstanding historical event, important for Latvia, the making of its statehood, as well as praise to the rebirth of the state and its renewed collections of cultural treasures.
The linear nature of words fail to describe fully the three dimensional architectural shape. As to the expressivity the form has many meanings.
To perceive its meaning, it we have to return to the feelings and intuition that accompanied the moment of creation." (the architect Gunars Birkerts about the idea of the project)
If you love books, you won´t ever be able to leave this place....just don´t sit down! Go and find your way through the labyrinths!
“Reading is an intelligent way of not having to think.”

These books are all miniatures. To give you an idea of scale, the one standing up on the right is exactly 1" tall. It's about fashion through the ages and has an illustration opposite each page of tiny text. Most of my friends would probably say they'd need 10ft long arms to stand any chance of seeing it, but I'm short-sighted and can read it easily if I take my glasses off. Perhaps I've found the one advantage of being short-sighted. :)
