I can’t believe I didn’t know about this.

I can’t believe I didn’t know about the Kansas City Library parking garage.  I went to Kansas once for a baseball game in college and I don’t think I’ve been back. WOW. How unbelievably inspired.  Here’s information about the design from collabcubed.

Kansas City Public Library Parking Garage

“Though the Kansas City Library Parking Garage in Kansas City, Missouri was completed in 2004, I had never seen it before. Designed by cdfm2 architects (now apparently 360 Architects), the book spines measure approximately 9 meters by 3 meters and are made of signboard mylar. The shelf showcases 22 titles reflecting a wide variety of reading interests suggested by Kansas City readers and then selected by The Kansas City Public Library Board of Trustees. Clever.”

 

Here is another site I found information too:

Jane Frank/WERKSTATT photo shoot

This week I had the pleasure of taking pictures of my friend and master goldsmith German jeweler, Jane (Yanna) Frank. She has created this remarkable space in a converted garage for her ongoing classes and her own work. Jane’s work is simply stunning.

She is going to submit photos to a fabulous publication called “Where Women Create”. This magazine highlight the creative spaces of women from all different disciplines and backgrounds.

These are a few of the photos I shot in Jane’s space.
