Book-nerd Architecture






Rintala Eggertsson Ark Booktower in Victoria and Albert Museum in London. If there's a more inspiring architectural design, I haven't seen it. The shelves contain about six thousand books. You can take a video tour here. I'm meditating on how to include ideas like this into my bookstore project. The houseboat/bookstore/cafe dream feels a little more real when I see work like the Ark Booktower.
