Typographic floors

what a bitch they must be to clean.....

The floors at The Seattle Public Library designed by Ann Hamilton (second image). According to the library’s website: “The floor mimics the appearance of a raised bed of wooden type and is intended to immerse library visitors in the artwork much as readers are immersed in the material they read…The floor includes 556 lines of text, in reverse, in 11 languages and alphabets, and consists of the first sentences of books found in the collection.”
