VOLUME #15: Destination Library
Volume is a project by ARCHIS + AMO + C-LAB + ...

Once there was life without books. It's hard to imagine what that must have been like: an age of stories and knowledge of the world which stretched no farther than a day's walk. The introduction of the written source constituted nothing less than the creation of a time and space capsule. The story, the idea, insight, knowledge were suddenly free of their messenger and were all able to bridge distances, able to surface, vanish and reappear.

Just as there was a time before the book, there will also be a time after it. In this issue 'The Last Book' project is taken up, but as to the consequences of publishing exclusively online - the loss of filters such as the publisher, editor and publication costs - we can only guess. Yet it is clear that our centuries old house of knowledge is undergoing a fundamental renovation, beginning with the solid base of the library.
