an extension of the structural book bay, this module was developed through stretching the limits of ‘Grid 1′, and the interlocking connection.

The Book Tower
The idea of our design is to build a tower consisting of columns and mezzanines of books, using strong joints that can give us the stability and support a lot of weight, in this case, books, which are accommodated in a simple way so that they can be taken out from the tower easily. The structural idea is to build a ‘book bridge’ between two vertical structures.
One side of the tower is covered by a screen of books, held together using the friction of interlocking pages, also creating an illusion of ‘floating books’.
