Abstract

I was so excited on this first morning. As I walked through the campus at Yale, I was amazed to see a genuine architectural surprise: like a jewel box building! When I got closer, I realized it was the ‘Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library’ (http://www.library.yale.edu/beinecke), one of the largest buildings in the world devoted entirely to rare books and manuscripts. The Library building is made from very thin marble that filters light so that rare materials can be displayed without damage. The interior looks like a glass book wall. It took just ten minutes to get to the Law School from my hotel – a short journey compared to the usual 90 minutes it takes me to get to work by car in Istanbul. Insights – 25(1), March 2012
