Geisel library in San Diego

  




Geisel library is at the University of California, San Diego, USA. It's Central, the main library of the University, built in the seventies of the last century. After completion of this memorable charm the building itself became a symbol of the institution, and involved even in his logo.

Architects and designers have worked on glory, inventing a really unusual shape, more reminiscent of the lush bushes of gigantic proportions. Of course, it generated a lot of rumors and stories, some of which are under a very real basis. Mainly discusses the purpose of the third floor of the building, which in no way referred to in the numbering of the building. Actually, officially.









Geisel library has no third floor, as it was reserved for the emergency exit and hall, but not in any way to the reading rooms.

The original name of the building was simple and trivial — "Central Library". Only in 1995, when I conducted the planned reconstruction, the school received its new name — the Geisel Library, also known as Theodor seuss Geisel, or Dr. seuss. This man made a significant contribution to the formation of funds of reading rooms, providing a lot of very rare and interesting publications.





Under this name, the building has become famous, it is included in the list of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Noteworthy is not only the facade and the architectural style and colour installation at the entrance, which reads: "Read, write, think, dream", thereby alluding to the enormous importance of science and education in our time.
