Gotta learn Russian QUICK!
love the formal gesture of the project but hate the diagram that generated it. i’m faily to see why or even how the arch de triumph, the rotunda, and the library at Alexandria has any bearing on the form of this project and the section makes it quite evident that this was a bad idea for a library regardless of how spatially interesting it may be
Oh, now we can look for office staff here!
What a pity the client of this project is.
I’m fluent in Russian, but lack expierence in practice for 10 yeaRS yet ))))
