#Repost @phaidonsnaps with @repostapp ・・・ Liyuan Library, Beijing, China, 2011, Li Xiaodong The solid-timber frame of this small library in #Beijing provides scale for the large room and a grid for the shelving and seating. It also offers a rhythmic and visual counterpoint to the delicately striated facade. The variety of spaces, open and enclosed, private and public, enable readers to colonize the type of environment they prefer. Just one of over 170 extraordinary wooden buildings in Wood by @mrwilliamhall.
