Book Weather


Book Weather

For something a little more permanent, Karo Architekten have created the ultimate in open-air libraries. Located in Magdeburg, Germany, this little slice of book-loving heaven was designed with the local community. What began as a temporary installation back in 2005 was kept alive by the locals, and now they have a stylish monument to all their hard work.
Working on the same Give and Take principle, this project is a great demonstration of the effect a little people power can have on your surrounds.
The final design is also a cheeky nod to the building materials of the initial intervention - beer crates. Is there anything they can't do?!
I especially love the mixture of grass, landscaping and informal nooks and crannies. Even the graffiti adds a little something to the overall tectonics.
