I just got back from Oregon. While up there I stopped by Aalto's library outside of Salem. It definitely lives up to the reputation it has for excellent daylighting.
Thanks for posting, Scott. This masterpiece is well worth the visit if in central Oregon. One of the unexpected pleasures/ surprises there was a tiny, ancient nun in full black habit (it is an abbey, after all) sitting behind the circulation desk. Modern, meet medieval!
