The Most Innovative Libraries Around the World https://www.newsweek.com/2020/03/06/most-innovative-libraries-around-world-1489549.html By Laura Powers On 02/27/20 at 1:52 PM EST

Visiting your local library is the best way to celebrate March's National Reading Month, or to celebrate the birthday of beloved children's book author, Dr. Seuss, on March 2. The rest of the year, some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to explore the racks and settle down with a new book, or use roving libraries to bring books to hard-to-reach populations. No matter how they achieve it, these novel libraries are keeping the magic of reading alive.

1. Kansas City Library Kansas City, Missouri

Along the south wall of this parking garage's exterior, visitors are treated to what looks like a huge shelf of books. The building originally served as a bank, which is readily apparent when the library has screenings in its Vault Theater, inside an actual 1925 bank vault.

2. Biblioteca Vasconcelos Mexico City, Mexico

Known as the mega library, the interior of this library is more akin to a massive storage facility than a library. The open interior has towering flooring of open grates that create a labyrinth

effect, and surrounds the "Matrix Mobile" by Gabriel Orozco—a sculpture transformed from the skeleton of a gray whale. The exterior is surrounded by almost 6 ½ acres of lush gardens devoted to plants endemic to Mexico.

3. Stuttgart City Library Stuttgart, Germany

Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library designed by Yi Architects is characterized by its stunning white-on-white color scheme (lit by blue light at night), its bold cubic shape and its cavernous interior. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and patrons can borrow artwork as well as books.

4. Biblioteca Sandro Penna Perugia, Italy

In a country known for classical architecture and historical buildings, Biblioteca Sandro Penna stands out for its modern aesthetic. Housing books and multimedia, this library was built in 2004, is named after a local poet and it is easily identifiable by its circular pink glass top reminiscent of a flying saucer.

5. Beach Library Albena, Bulgaria

Reading a book on the beach is a classic, and in Bulgaria, one library encourages tourists to do just that. The white, weather-resistant shelves lined up not far from the surf feature 6,000 books in 15 languages so every visitor can find the perfect beach read to enjoy while soaking up the sun's rays.

6. The Camel Library Service North Eastern Province, Kenya

To combat low literacy rates in the desert of Kenya, the government created a roaming library composed of nine camels bringing books to villages. The library travels four days a week serving the region's nomadic people. Currently the service focuses on children, but with more funding they plan to increase their reach both in distance and the titles they carry.

7. Bishan Library Singapore

Built in 2006, this library with skylights and trellises, is meant to invoke a modern glass treehouse. Glass pods of varying colors stick out of the building randomly to create cozy yet airy nooks for reading throughout the building. At the same time, a more open-plan children's room on the basement level invites interaction while preventing noise from filtering upward and disturbing those concentrating in the lofty perches above.

8. Seikei University Library Tokyo, Japan

Libraries are usually known for their quiet atmosphere, but this one encourages conversation. Pritzker Prize-winner Shigeru Ban designed the library with space-age, free-standing soundproofed pods to respect those who need uninterrupted study, while also being conducive to other methods of learning; they serve as perfect spots for study groups and lively discussions.

9. Macquarie University Library Sydney, Australia

A stunning combination of cutting-edge and sustainable, this building was made from recycled materials, features a green roof and was designed to emulate the look of a eucalyptus tree. It is also state of the art, using robot cranes to bring requested books to the front desk.

An Underwater Art World That's Helping to Save Our Oceans

Life-size sculptures submerged underwater—accessible primarily to divers and snorkelers—are part tourist attraction, part ecological experiment in Jason deCaires Taylor's innovative art installations. "Instead of seeing [the world] as a hidden, endless resource that we can treat how we want, I tried to change our relationship to it and turn it into a more intimate space," says deCaires Taylor, a British environmentalist and sculptor.

An avid scuba diver witnessing corals decline around the world, deCaires Taylor was inspired to explore how sculpture could be functional apart from aesthetics by designing man-made reefs. These underwater gardens created by deCaires Taylor call attention to the huge threats to ocean life—from rising sea temperatures to pollution—with breathtaking art exhibits that also double as artificial havens for coral to regenerate and new ecosystems to thrive.

About 25 percent of the ocean's marine life depend on healthy reefs for shelter and food, yet 40 percent of the world's coral reefs have been damaged over the last several decades due to factors such as global warming, overfishing and irresponsible tourism, and scientists warn even more are at risk.

Creating the world's first underwater sculpture park in Grenada in 2006, and with over 1,000 underwater artworks across the globe, deCaires Taylor has artfully highlighted the threats to our oceans while actively helping to create new life in them.

Dive into Jason deCaires Taylor's underwater art exhibits from around the world.

The Silent Evolution Isla Mujeres, Mexico

"A lot of my works are ordinary scenes you'd see in a terrestrial world, but when you drop them into a different world, you're able to think a little bit deeper and reflect in a different way," says deCaires Taylor.

"The Silent Evolution" is an undersea art exhibit off the Cancun coast. More than 400 life-size submerged statues were cast from locals from a nearby fishing village who are now immortalized guarding their oceans. Ten years old, the man-made reef is already home to more than 2,000 juvenile corals.

Ocean Atlas Nassau, Bahamas

Off the coast of Nassau sits the world's largest underwater sculpture, shallow enough for both snorkelers and divers to view. This 60-ton, 16-foot tall statue of a young Bahamian girl appears to hold up the ocean, just like her Greek namesake Atlas, who mythology says suspended the heavens.

Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park Grenada, West Indies

Installed in 2006 after Molinere Bay suffered devastating damage from the 2004 Hurricane Ivan, these 75 submerged art pieces formed the world's first underwater sculpture park and was named one of National Geographic's 25 Wonders of the World. It now provides a new base for marine life to proliferate, and it also draws divers, snorkelers and glass-bottomed boats away from more fragile reefs nearby.

Museo Atlántico Playa Blanca, Canary Islands

This first underwater art museum in Europe, opened in 2016, is accessible to both divers and snorkelers. The submerged museum holds over 300 life-size casts including The Rubicon—35

figures walking toward an underwater wall, seemingly sleepwalking through the demise of the natural world and climate change.

The Rising Tide London, U.K.

Unlike most of deCaires Taylor's works, these sculptures can be seen from land, on the banks of the River Thames, emerging during low tide. Within sight of the Houses of Parliament, they are a nod to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and are a reminder of rising sea levels and the denial of climate change.

Nexus Oslo, Norway

Commissioned by a children's art center, these floating sculptures both in and on the Oslo fjords—visible underwater and by glass-bottomed canoe—are monitored by the children as the figures are colonized by marine life. For divers delving deeper into the inlet, freshwater gives way to green salt water, creating mesmerizing aquatic filters against the sculptures.

Coralarium Sirru Fen Fushi, Maldives

Courtesy of Jason deCaires Taylor

This 2018 tidal art installation—a metallic cube structure—sits partially submerged in a clear, shallow lagoon. Snorkelers and divers can see sculptures inside it underwater or climb to the roof where more human-like figures rest. As the tide recedes, more of the cube is visible, and over time it will become a foundation for a new ecosystem.

Nest Gili Meno, Indonesia

Courtesy of Jason deCaires Taylor

On a small island near Bali, known for clear waters and turtles, lie these 48 life-size cement figures. The embracing couples encircling additional curled-up figures on the seafloor are a home for teeming marine life and regenerating coral. Resting on the seafloor and only 13 feet deep, divers, snorkelers and glass-bottomed boats visit daily.

Museum of Underwater Art Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Courtesy of Jason deCaires Taylor

Expected to open to the public in early 2020, deCaires Taylor's latest project aims to rehabilitate parts of the world's largest reef system. Works in the underwater museum include a partially-submerged figure that changes color as the sea warms and which can be seen from shore, and even a submerged coral-covered greenhouse.

Sacred Journeys Around the World

https://www.newsweek.com/2020/02/28/sacred-journeys-around-world-1487745.html

Leon McCarron/Abraham Path Initiative

Whatever your religion—if any—or how you choose to observe, in today's plugged-in and stressed-out times, an introspective journey can offer travelers a chance to spend time reflecting in nature. While any hike can be transformative, traveling the same path as others makes these intentional, soul-searching pilgrimages more than simply walks in beautiful places. Follow in the footsteps of Buddhist monks in Japan or a revered Viking king in Scandinavia or seek a shaman's healing in ice-cold lagoons in Peru.

1. Sacred Door Trail Jackson, Montana

This 200-mile nondenominational trail with various starting points in southwest Montana is dedicated to deepening the connections we have to our ourselves and our collective church—Mother Earth. Inspired by Spain's Camino de Santiago, this community-created loop path was created in 2012 over existing National Forest trails that run through rugged and remote wilderness areas, tracing the continental divide for part of the route.

2. The Huaringas Lagoons Piura Region, Peru

Instead of the over-touristed Inca Trail, walk along this sacred circuit of 14 lagoons that sit 13,000-feet high in Peru's mist-covered Huamani mountain range. Shamans and healers perform ancient cleansing rituals in ice-cold lagoons for those seeking to recover from physical ailments, heartbreak or money woes.

3. St. Patrick's Way Armagh to Downpatrick, Ireland

Missing a new season of Game of Thrones? Begun in 2015 by a Camino de Santiago veteran walker, this 82-mile trail through stunning scenic landscapes in Northern Ireland follows the footsteps of St. Patrick. It not only highlights the legacy of the ancient patron saint, but passes through magical woodlands that influenced C.S. Lewis when he envisioned Narnia as well as through the Mourne Mountains, a filming location for Game of Thrones.

4. Madonna del Ghisallo Lombardy, Italy

Who said pilgrimages can only be completed on foot? Cyclists pedal 5.84 miles from Bellagio on Lake Como toward the mecca of the bike world, the 17th-century Madonna del Ghisallo chapel dedicated to the patron saint of cyclists. The chapel's shrine to cycling legends includes bikes ridden by Tour de France victors, as well as jerseys from some of the world's best riders.

5. St. Olav's Path Selånger, Sweden to Trondheim, Norway

St. Olavsleden

Escape the crowds on El Camino and head to Scandinavia to walk the world's northernmost pilgrimage. This 350-mile trail from the east coast of Sweden to the west coast of Norway traces the last journey of Viking King Olav in 1030. It transverses deep forests and mountains and ends at Nidaros Cathedral where the sainted king is said to be buried.

6. The Abraham Path Şanlıurfa, Turkey to Hebron, West Bank

Abraham Path Initiative

With the goal of sharing the hospitable side of this region with foreigners, the 12-year-old Abraham Path connects places associated with the Biblical figure Abraham—a revered patriarch in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Walk with local guides in Turkey to Abraham's birthplace, and with Palestinian guides from the northern West Bank to his tomb in Hebron, connecting with locals and fostering cultural understanding along the way.

7. Mount Kailash Kora Darchen, Tibet

Seek enlightenment or merely extraordinary views while circling Tibet's most sacred mountain—holy to four religions. Mt. Kailash looms about 22,000-feet high, and the circuit—or kora—has taken pilgrims through challenging, high-altitude trails and along the breathtaking glacial Manasarovar Lake for more than 15,000 years.

8. 88-Temple Pilgrimage Shikoku, Japan

For over 1200 years, white-robed henro, or pilgrims, have followed the footsteps of the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi on the rural island of Shikoku. There is no single correct way to complete this about 750-mile sacred walk; it was designed without an official beginning or end. Whether or not you get a stamp from all of the 88 temples, soak in Japanese culture in age-old onsen—natural thermal baths—that dot the trail.

8 Stunning Bookstores Worth Visiting Around the World

https://www.newsweek.com/2019/12/13/unusual-bookstores-around-world-1473935.html By Laura Powers On 11/27/19 at 6:00 AM EST

Local Bookstore Stayed Open For Years After Borders 2 Miles Away Closed Down

Not Just Fiction: Real-Life Bookstores Worth Visiting Books have always had the ability to transport readers, whisking them away to faraway lands. Bookstores are often the inspiration for this magic, allowing readers to scan the shelves in pursuit of their next escape. Some bookstores are taking this to the next level, making the store itself the destination—through architecture, decor and even optical illusions. Cozy up and plot your next getaway at these unique bookstores around the world.

1. Housing Works Bookstore Cafe & Bar New York, New York

Kate Glicksberg

Housing Works Bookstore is one of the most quintessentially New York bookshops, second only to the Strand. Part of a non-profit chain donating its proceeds to combat AIDS and homelessness, the spiral staircases leading to a second floor balcony of books gives the feeling of an old-school library in the heart of New York's chic SoHo district.

2. El Ateneo Grand Splendid Buenos Aires, Argentina

This 1919 theater-turned-cinema-turned-bookstore epitomizes the connection between the performing arts and books. It retains the frescoed ceiling, ornate trim, and velvet curtains of the former theater, and books line the walls, including where the audience once sat in box seats.

3. Librairie des Colonnes Tangier, Morocco

Tangier was the home of many famed writers of the '50s and '60s, and Librairie des Colonnes was a regular haunt of Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, and others. The bookstore still mostly features titles in French but it also houses Spanish, English, and, increasingly, more Arabic works, and even publishes its own books.

4. Word on the Water London, England

This floating bookstore in the Regents Canal is known as "The London Bookbarge." Formerly mobile, it has now found a permanent home where visitors can browse year round, warm up by a wood-burning fire in the winter and enjoy music and poetry performances on the rooftop stage in the summer.

5. Boekhandel Dominicanen Maastricht, Netherlands

This 13th-century church was given new life in 2006 as a bookstore. Visitors can browse for books on the three-story shelving island in the middle of the cathedral or simply enjoy the vaulted ceilings covered in murals and illuminated by stained-glass windows.

6. Libreria Acqua Alta Venice, Italy

To protect its books from water damage due to flooding from Venice's canals, this unique store keeps its books in a variety of waterproof containers such as vintage bathtubs and even a gondola. The bookstore—which features mainly secondhand and out-of-print titles—is jam-packed with floor-to-ceiling eclectic decor and even houses a few stray cats.

7. Zhongshuge Bookstore Hangzhou, China

Each location of this Chinese chain is architecturally unique, but the location in Hangzhou stands apart. Stairs and seats built into round bookshelves combined with mirrored ceilings give the optical illusion of never-ending books. Other optical illusions include a tunnel of books and what appears to be an unending roller coaster of books in the children's book room.

8. Kay Craddock Antiquarian Bookseller Melbourne, Australia

Located inside a Gothic church, this shop sells only antique and secondhand books. Visitors can search for the quirky collection of owl figurines scattered throughout or they can peruse the shelves to find classics—such as a Jane Austen collection printed in 1833 selling for $15,000.
