A very cool (expensive) building in a very disadvantaged neighbourhood as far as I know.
I love this building, and I had to write a precis on this at my interview!
@LargoJax, part of one of the most incredible cultural networks to improve quality of life, along with several other libraries in the country. There was an issue of Abitare on that. These buildings aren´t just libraries, but community buildings. And if they are expensive, that´s good… because they are for all the neighbors to enjoy. And as far as i know, they appreciate that, specially the kids.
Colombia, not Columbia, have your brain disabled or what? JERKS
NB… it says Columbia on the official website of University of California.. so I guess the retarded ones are them..
It appears as though it was misspelled only once. All the others appear correct. Cut them some slack!
It’s soo retarded that even a University website can’t just look up the right spelling… It’s like nobody cares here. I’ve been living in the U.S. for 8 yrs and I can’t even tell you how many times I ‘ve heard or seen this typo happen.
DO YOUR RESEARCH!
This building is better in the pictures. is only an exterior thing, the interios are poor and badly constructed, aswell the facade. if you see the inside is not enough for the public.
this comunity needs more than a superficial solutions from the fashion architects world.
Hey. Neat post. There is an issue with your web site in internet explorer, and you may want to test this… The browser is the marketplace leader and a good element of folks will miss your magnificent writing due to this problem.
