House Of Books

Urban landscape photographer Franck Bohbot is currently working on a new series titled House Of Books, where he is paying tribute to the beautiful architecture of libraries all over the world. What has started in Paris and Rome will eventually make its way around the rest of Europe, South America, Asia and North America. As a huge fan of Candida Höffer, I love what I see and look forward to keeping close tabs on Franck’s ongoing project.

    What an incredible idea and such beautiful photos. It makes me want to move my blogging office from my local coffee shop to the New York Public Library. Talk about instant inspiration. Love the wide scope of your posts. Keep them coming.

    Woah! So amazing! Some of these remind me of the library in Beauty and the Beast. (I’ve lusted after gorgeous and massive libraries since I was little!)
