More from TED. This time Joshua Prince-Ramus talking about the Seattle Public Library (pic from OZinOH on Flickr). I haven't been to Seattle since this opened, but used to stay right next door while it was being built. He makes an elegant deconstruction of the purpose of libraries, before reconstructing the information. They then use the data reconstruction as the literal inspiration for the design. Sort of like semiotics meets Ed Tufte, and their offspring becomes the creative platform. Must try it sometime.
