I know that book.

Where are the books?
>>7978523
It's a modern building, why should there be books? They get in the way of design.
>>7978303
Somehow that picture looks noisy.

>>7978904
but the old one didnt have any books in it either
>>7978904
Well that's good at least
> brutalist
Let me guess, it's "brutalist" but it has little to no vegetation
The entire point of brutalism was for the harsh-looking buildings to contrast with copious amounts of vegetation and foliage
>>7978703
That thing is awesome. Has anyone ever found a "book" that makes sense?
>>7978303
Absolutely uncomfortable.
>>7979061
there will be a book of this conversation if you search for it.

Library Lello in Porto, Portugal. It's called the Harry Potter library. Btw, the picture is already more than one hundred years old.

>>7978908
They moved all the books to the brutalist one. The old one is now a sumptuous reading room. >>7979049
Judge for yourself.
>>7979857
Can I live there?
>>7978818
the Turks have horrid architecture
>>7979857
how did they know what Harry Potter was back then?
>>7979577
You want something even creepier?
Try searching for ways your family members have died or major events in your life.
>>7978303
>>7980198
It's a bastardization of a term people used for the Portuguese. They were all very hairy, and Portugal was full of ports and port workers, called porters, so people referred to the Portuguese as hairy porters.
>>7978818
ayyyy
the lair of Bridget: $34 of overdue fines and counting, senpai
>>7980165
Good, actually the guys in the picture are pretty hairy.
But if you don't know, the Harry Potter's book started being written in a Porto cafe. And this library, is called by the tourist the HP library because how it looks like.
>>7980165
They should allow people live there.
>>7979313
this one is book-related, you cuckold

nice place but full of crying kids sometimes.
>>7982175
Nice, I wonder if they have any classical /lit/ of value there?
>>7979857
That's a bookshop, not a library, idiot.

It's a good thing you were here.
library of congress reading room
>tfw uni library is ugly and badly stocked
>it's full of ethnics and chads
>half the space is devoted to computers
>town library is no better
>all the architecture is uninspired 'cool and modern' stuff with endless glass and plastic
the only decent thing to come out of my uni library is some fucking hilarious bant when someone discovered a tumblr of a gay guy who would take pics of himself masturbating and shoving buttplugs up his ass in the library, the pics used to be up online but they were taken down when someone notified the uni, search 'youngcumlover69' and you'll get the one or two results that remain after the uni tried to purge any knowledge of it happening

>let's design a library
>hell yeah let's make the ceiling all glass because that will definitely not blind the students when they are staring at their computer screens or trying to read a book
also fuck this open space bullshit.
Does anyone else here mostly use the library as their source of books? I don't own more than ten books because of how frequently I use the library
>>7984356
Owning them makes me feel special though.

It's hard to see in the pic but that glass ceiling has a subtle UV filter on the inside, like a coating applied to the glass, so it's not too bright inside at all. It's really a very nice reading room to study in. Not loud either. Source: former student
>>7984391
>not loud
Of course it isn't. It's UChicago.
>>7983088
It can be considered a library. And it is actually like a museum now.
>>7978361
i live there
My school's library. Behind the book cases/walls. There study rooms of various sizes, as well as computer rooms but they aren't seen from the outside. However it's a bloody labyrinth behind.
>>7979051
I've actually been there, came buckets
>tfw the busts of Homer, Plato and Cicero looking majestic as fuck

Where is the crowd of muslims circling around it?
>>7985195
>muslims
>library
to be frank they usually hang around the library in Utrecht causing trouble because they have no place else to go. It is great to witness the grand success of the multicultural experiment every, single, day.
>>7984205
that ceiling is just incredibly beautiful

I'm so sorry anon...

>dat gevoel wanneer je niet in het westen woont

>It must be a movement then, an actuality of the possible as possible. Aristotle’s phrase formed itself within the gabbled verses and floated out into the studious silence of the library of Saint Genevieve where he had read, sheltered from the sin of Paris, night by night. By his elbow a delicate Siamese conned a handbook of strategy. Fed and feeding brains about me: under glowlamps, impaled, with faintly beating feelers: and in my mind’s darkness a sloth of the underworld, reluctant, shy of brightness, shifting her dragon scaly folds. Thought is the thought of thought. Tranquil brightness. The soul is in a manner all that is: the soul is the form of forms. Tranquillity sudden, vast, candescent: form of forms.
>>7985139
I usually hate modern architecture in libraries but there's something comfy about this.
>>7977722
Is that Stift Admond?
>>7985087
What do you mean, considered? Can you take books from it without paying? I don't think so, and just because it's got an entry fee doesn't make it a museum.
Search about it on Internet, you will understand.

Literally everything is in the library of babel. That's kind of the point. The mind-boggling thing is not that everything is in it, but that the answers to any question we may have from why OP is such a faggot to the biggest mysteries of the universe are in there and we just don't know where to find them.
>>7978340
I should have gone to Oxford.
It's prettier and easier.
>>7983653
Came in to post this. Was there a few weeks ago. Pain in the ass to get a reader's ID for one day of research, but the library itself was heavenly
This is one of my lesser known favorites, the Charles Lea Library at UPenn. Second pic is how it looked when it was still in Lea's home. Love how clearly it was a place of work and study, not a trophy room.
>>7978361for you
>>7983653
Do you think they have TCOL49?
>>7985921
I believe they have to own a copy of every book published in the US. Or is that just a UK thing?

There's also a botanic garden, and a music room where you can borrow instruments. And yes, the hanging thing on the picture is a whale carcass.
