Phase three underway. (Taken with Instagram)

I appreciate the way in which the shelves continue to respond to the topography. It’s funny the way some shelves become obsolete as though the extrusion from the ground allows for no alteration of their height.

This expansive outdoor public library, called ‘bookyard’ was designed by Massimo Bartolini for Belgian Art Festival.

The ’Bookyard ‘ is placed in a garden, surrounded by trees and grapevines. All books are for sale and the visitors may bring home a piece of the artwork by http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/21434/bookyard-an-outdoor-library-by-massimo-bartolini.htmlleaving a donation of their choosing into a small box supplied by the artist and the libraries. The visitors may enjoy ‘bookyard’ until September, officially ends on 16 09 2012

Just waiting to see this inhabitited!!!

“Built in Mexico City, this Mini-Studio, or art workshop, is nestled between three existing structures in the backyard of a house. Designed by FRENTEarquitectura, who carefully considered the direct sunlight that would stream into the space if not oriented correctly. In order to block some of the light without restricting the view, the upper level juts out to cast shadow over the ground floor windows. Overall, the space is full of trapezoidal shapes, giving dimension to the white walls and shiny epoxy-coated floors.”

The Vipp shelf is made of a 3mm aluminum plate, stamped out and shaped into a U-form creating two shelf surfaces. The shelf is mounted with an invisible bracket, providing a floating impression 8mm from the wall and fixed with CNC-cut thumbscrews in brushed stainless steel presenting a subtle detail in both the design and function of the shelf. 

“We have given the shelf an indentation in its two surfaces and equipped them with a washable, silicone mat in order to protect glass and china. Traditional Vipp materials in white or black powder coated aluminum are used to produce the shelves to ensure a visual coherence with the Vipp kitchen and bathroom modules,” explains Chief Designer in Vipp, Morten Bo Jensen.
