Yesterday I reveled in this book: Builders of the Pacific Coast. Today I visualize a library that literalizes the tree of knowledge metaphor - (something I think they incorporated into a Dr. Who I saw once, now that I'm thinking about it) - where different portions of the branches of the building, in organiform unfurling, nest related books. (Here's some snaps of the pics in the book, a great slide show of it here. [Pictured at right: from Builders of the Pacific Coast, photo of the Lloyd House, Lloyd Kahn]
