Zero fucks given. Good one @hizokucycles

When asked to name his best building, architect Walter Netsch of SOM cited the Louis Jefferson Long Library at Wells College in Aurora, New York, completed in 1968. Of the library, he said: “I wanted to work with the environment, so I made it fit the site. In fact, the first design fit the site so well that I had to do the roof over again. … It also fit the concept of what a library should be — a place where you study, put the book on the floor, and read on the floor or on pillows. It’s not regimented. It has volume, it has space and perception. It has small rooms that you can go to, especially on the bridge. And it has native materials. It has brick and wood. So I felt it did all those things, plus. It’s the first time we took three rotated squares and made them work together as a triad. The design of the library is different than any other field theory building because it’s based on that triad.”

Something doesn’t seem quite right here…Adam Bryfogle (Landis Cyclery) will be asking his mechanic a few questions after a mishap at the Tour of the Gila. Thanks to Jono Devich for the photo.
