ARCHILLECT: The National Library of Minsk

DESIGNER(S): M.K. Vinogrdov and V.V. Kramarenko
LOCATION: Minsk, Belarus
DATE: 2002
So, what do you do with a post-industrial monolithic monument at the center of your city? Attach some hundreds of LEDs, wire them up, press play, leave. Our senses instantly become a mixture of images from the Death Star(as beautifully quoted) and the high end British Pavillion at Shangai's EXPO.
Movie or reality, this place, travels our mind, far from where is actually placed.
In a good way.
