(33,509 posts)...Lewis Library.
Regrettably some precious and rare maps were damaged when the building - a Frank Gehry contraption - had a pipe break causing flooding.
My son, the artist, and I disagree about this building - an art vs. engineering argument - where, as it happens, I am writing today.
After a couple of years of complaining about the Lewis library - where I worked in the dark spaces - I discovered the upper areas where it is pleasant to work.
But art at the expense of function is not a good thing in architecture, I think.
Anyway to return to the subject. Thanks for this note. I'll try to find a way to go there.
