ruminations about architecture and design

the one in boston is better


The famous New York Public Library is  impressive, but from a functional and stylistic perspective I think that Boston ended up with a much better building. The architects went mad with staircases, and my efforts to find a bathroom were thwarted. As I understand it, the book storage and delivery system is absurd, and although much criticism has been raised against the planned renovations, any change would be an improvement.
