there is a big, back-lit oval opening in the ceiling that makes you feel like you’re ascending. the library itself is round! they got some cozy chairs and long tables to spread out at. the overhead lighting is cozy like a warm lamp.
my gf took us here when we were both having a bad day. it feels similar to some of turell’s works. designed by frank lloyd wright (for the heads). might be my favorite wright space i’ve found myself inside of.
i've been in Toronto for a month and this place my sanctuary fr. Beautifully designed, good lighting and has these cool glass elevators that make ascending really fun.
in pre-colonial Ireland (and in modern day) there are these sacred wells that heal ailments. my dad told be about one he went to growing up whenever he had warts. they work! below is the wart well in dungiven, derry.
anyways, saoirse don phalaistín.
