Hate this open plan shit, I"m referring specifically to the low "look at my dick" windows. I do like the idea of an open two-level space but simple and square, like this >>16501478 but minus the tryhard paneling, furniture and curvilinear nonsense. The placement and general proportion of the window are good here though, you can draw the shade or retreat to a removed space, if not a literal corner in this case.

Lmao those huge windows and panels look like a good way to see some scary fucking shit in your yard.

For a "I have many leatherbound books" bourgeois library room like this, you ideally want moderate window space on one or two walls tops. Direct sunlight is bad for reading, although indirect can be helpful and refreshing.

these all look like shit. their only redeeming feature is that they make non-whites seethe

Unless he moved buildings, rapture's library was like a basement crammed with plan steel shelves with tons of books, like what you'd expect to find in a small town or some section of a college library. There was nothing particularly fancy in there.

There's nothing funnier than reading some middle class dude provide opinions on architecture.
Light has always been the major thing in a library or a study. Some people like cozy spaces, others airy well lit places with uninterrupted views of their "domain".
>>16502449
You are aware glass can be tinted with UV filtering materials right?

>>16502449
The bigger problem in my opinion is the way direct sunlight bleaches your books. Learned that one the hard way.

The lowest plebs, the homeless, regularly congregate in major city libraries, which are often among the better architectural features of a city. The point is that the entire public has access to architecture in a public sense, if not a private one, and can form its various opinions based on these experiences. To your latter point (you addressed me twice), sunlight is still terrible for reading even if the window has treatment, but then this is down to taste as you said, it's just that the taste for sunlight is wrong. IMO The ideal reading room involves incandescent light and an available window or two.

Speaking of this, I miss my local libraries. Just before Covid they finished remodeling a suburban branch, I went in it just once. Po-mo neoclassical kitsch, but the high central arch was still nice to stare at and they had a good math section.

>>16502439
None of those books have ever been read

>>16502415
This one is really bad, just soulless

>>16502542
Do you collect?
