Designers use of Books  

comes two to my mind
Is a research or looking for inspiration?; those two are not for make at home:
ONE: "Babel tower made of book"I don't remember well, but was a photo of a 2-3 levels height Babel tower inside other building, VERY IMPRESIVE, gorgeous. I saw it a month ago, -so very new- in Europe,. Does anybody know what are I am talking about?
TWO: http://www.martaminujin.com/arte_efimero.html then ?arte efimero de los 80's?then
-partenon de libros-- (sorry, no english link) it's a partenon book, after return to democracy, made with forbidden books, that were given to general public at the end of the event.

oh wow
Thanks a lot, I think the babel one's in Germany, Walk of Ideas right? [link below]
Oh for additional information this is research, I go to Central Saint Martins in London and we're meant to research books...and I didn't know where to start, and DA looked like a good place to ask.

.
That's nice, but not the one I said.
The other was more in line with Minujin'partenon'book.
Was made with 'real' books, one over the other, so that would need I don't know, thaousands of of books. (It seem to be millions. It was INSIDE a museum or art center.

.
Could it be that in the future all communication will be by pictures and pictographs -- with perhaps some grunts and whistles indicating urgency, etc ?

.
Gustavo I think you may be thinking about one of Robert Rauschenbergs works...

.
azurechiken: I don't know. He could be.... ButI don't know, I was searching Robert Rauschenbergs and didn't found. Why do you think could be his work? He is a Texan artist as I read. What else could you teach us about him?

.
SDR, sorry, It's true. It would be much easier with pictures,
(could help posting "perhaps some grunts and whistles indicating urgency, etc ?" in "brainstorming"?
I know...,the link of marta minujin dosen't link directly with the pictures, and maybe someone could lost in the middle (pictures would be easier).
And about the book's tower, I made a croquis/ scketch that I made in my PC, and I'lltry to post it.

It was something like this

Here it is.
