On my solo drive home from Montreal and feeling inspired by thoughts on a la the Escher exhibit I had visited in Montreal - I thought of the road as a metaphor for life —- shifting perspectives… still with me from the show had me seeing and understanding things differently, and I had an aha moment. I found myself in a picture perfect postcard, moment. The beautiful blue lake on my left and equally blue sky stretching above with all those scattered white puffy clouds. The sun. The breeze. The emerald green strip of grass along the empty winding road which lead the way up to the bend up ahead. I had to stop so I could be in that moment as I wondered what is just beyond that bend up ahead. The twists and turns of life are just like this road.
Do not miss the public library of Mexico City. A narrow, 7 story elongated architectural wonder.
The long view from one end to the other Is a symmetrical arrangement divided by a set of stairs up the centre.
It has glass floors, the ceiling structure is arranged to allow in controlled light for daytime use of the library, but not enough to destroy the books during the day and not enough to destroy books. No walls except for the long wood one that divides some of the specialty rooms along the length off to the side, just enough wood to make it warm and cozy, despite the glass and steel structure.
The amazement is that ALL of the bookcases are suspended from the roof structure in addition to a 3 ton and 30 foot long whale skeleton, which swims through “knowledge” the bookcases are all Symmetrically arranged on either side of the staircase Cubist style. You can see out through the windows to a beautiful park setting located in the centre of Mexico City complete with trees, gardens grass, and rolling hills. It is a joy to walk the paths and rolling Hills filled with fruit trees, and interesting plants as well as the with the beautiful purple flowers that smell heavenly found all over Mexico City.
The library is free to the public and is the second most visited site in Mexico City.
