Library Hotel In Manhattan – New York

I simply love books and I have loved them ever since I could read. So I wouldn’t mind living in a house where all the walls are covered with all sorts of books. Or at least I wouldn’t mind spending my yearly holiday in a hotel where I can have unlimited access to books belonging to all literary genres. Actually people have this opportunity if they stay at Library Hotel in New York. The hotel is located at 299 Madison Avenue and is a ten story boutique hotel with 60 rooms available. But its most interesting feature is the fact that the floors are organized after a unique principle: the Dewey Decimal System, meaning the system that organizes the literary genres. For example the fourth floor is the correspondent for the fourth Dewey category – Language, and each room deals with a different sub-category , for example Ancient language, germanic language , etc.

This hotel is like any other hotel on the inside, having nice and cosy interiors, the only difference being the presence of books all over the place. There are lots of fine bookcases in the rooms, in the hallways, even in the lobby and the restaurants. They are very in perfect condition and belong strictly to the category in the decimal system. I think it’s simply a reader’s heaven.

Eden Project in Cornwall, UK

I am sure you all heard or read the story of Noah and his ark, where he gathered all the animals on Earth in pairs. Well, how about the possibility to gather all kinds of plants on Earth in only one place? But this idea is not new and apparently some other people thought of it long before I did, and they moved to the next level: they made the project and made it come true. So the Eden Project was born. It was designed by the architect Nicholas Grimshaw and was built in Cornwall, UK.

The whole project was the idea of Tim Smit and it consists of a series of plastic domes with hexagonal patterns on that were meant to cover a huge collection of plants from all over the actual, actually being the world’s biggest greenhouse. The total completion of this project took two and a half years and the complex opened for the public in March 2001. The biome structures have a steel frame and they are all covered with thermoplastic. Even though the biomes are very unusual as appearance, they do appear naturally and it is said to have been inspired from the Moon. But apart from that it still remains a very unusual and unique architectural complex opened for the public.
