It most be rather intimidating - or even frightening - to enter the Jose Vasconcelos library in Mexico City. The spectacular building, designed by Alberto Kalach, is not just a regular library. It's a monument to books.
It is one of the major cultural buildings that should function to turn the urban decay of the north-central area of Mexico City around. It's also something of a scandoulous political affair, but I don't want to get into all that.
This building is just spectacle in the interior. Highrising stacks of books fill this building, dizziling high. I don't want to spend a tons of words on this buildings, because I truely believe that the images of this building speak for themselves. I'm in awe. And I am pretty sure that I'm not alone at that...

Yeah! It's a spectacular building. It's a shame we have to wait until november for the re opening.
Very good Photos, is color the building is not so nice (in my opinion), too much complex for a library who pretends to be silent and pacific...but Kalach works are really really good.
Come to my blog, if u want, i put a Link for your's in there...
