Mt. Angel Abbey Library by Alvar Aalto

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.

See the post on our website for more images.

I have this poster in my living room!

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!
