A library is not just a collection of books, but also the buildings that house them. As varied and inventive as the volumes they hold, such buildings can be much more than the dusty, dark wooden shelves found in mystery stories or the catacombs of stacks in the basements of academia. From the great dome of the Library of Congress, to the white façade of the Seinäjoki Library in Finland, to the ancient ruins of the library of Pergamum in modern Turkey, the architecture of a library is a symbol of its time as well as of its builders’ wealth, culture, and learning.
Architectural historian James Campbell and photographer Will Pryce traveled the globe together, visiting and documenting over eighty libraries that exemplify the many different approaches to thinking about and designing libraries. The result of their travels, The Library: A World History is one of the first books to tell the story of library architecture around the world and through time in a single volume, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern China and from the beginnings of writing to the present day. As these beautiful and striking photos reveal, each age and culture has reinvented the library, molding it to reflect their priorities and preoccupations—and in turn mirroring the history of civilization itself. Campbell’s authoritative yet readable text recounts the history of these libraries, while Pryce’s stunning photographs vividly capture each building’s structure and atmosphere.
Together, Campbell and Pryce have produced a landmark book—the definitive photographic history of the library and one that will be essential for the home libraries of book lovers and architecture devotees alike.
文/夏麗檸 盡管我們常常引用博爾赫斯的“天堂是圖書館的模樣”。可如果我們讀一讀《圖書館建築的曆史》,便會發現圖書館是一個可以超越天堂的地方。天堂是心靈的慰籍,而圖書館卻是人類文化與文明活躍的象徵。 當你站在宏大或精巧的圖書館建築麵前,當你用縴細的手指觸碰鐵質...
評分1955年,博爾赫斯成為阿根廷國傢圖書館館長,是時的作傢與詩人已近乎雙目失明,而坐擁圖書館的幸福感仍讓他有感而發,並寫下《關於天賜的詩》:“上帝同時給我書籍和黑夜/……他讓一雙失去光明的眼睛/主宰起這捲冊浩繁的城池……我心裏一直都在暗暗設想/天堂應該是圖書館的模樣...
評分品讀書之城 丁海涵 對愛書人而言,城市中的圖書館是一個重要的存在,但對其中的大多數人而言,能夠親曆的畢竟非常有限,若能通過閱讀,對不...
評分隨著現代知識體係的自主和擴散,原先圖書館建築意義上的知識大廈似乎開始被獨立的知識體或知識群所瓦解,隻需放眼現在的中國媒體圈,多樣的獨立齣版和文化機構如雨後春筍般齣現。這種多樣的知識空間毋寜說是一種提升(up-level),放到曆史語境中甚至可以說是一場力圖復興人文...
評分獻給所有熱愛書籍,也熱愛貯藏書籍的美麗空間的讀者。 記憶是動物所具有的重要能力之一,但在人的身上,它纔發展到瞭一種不可思議的水平。亙古及今,人類最嚮往的東西,即所謂的“不朽”,不僅和信仰有關,而且也和記憶有關。仿佛,記憶的能力是一種神性的能力,...
在圖書館翻過圖書館史。裏麵提到的那麼多圖書館,土耳其以弗所圖書館和奧地利梅爾剋修道院圖書館我倒無意間去過瞭,但是我們自己的天一閣、籬苑和國圖我還都沒去過。
评分美輪美奐!!!!!!
