Looking at Libraries: Defining Space Through Content

August 13, 2008

Filed under: Books, Inspiration — admin @ 7:54 pm

Looking at Libraries is a current senior grad project of Valerie Madill at Emily Carr University. The project examines how books and the buildings they are housed in interact and affect the reading experience. As a former library employee I am not sure I agree with her assessments but the project is good food for thought. Be sure to click on “Read it!”, to find an artist’s statement that is instrumental for digestion when not viewing the project in person.
