Book shelf House
TERUAKI TSUKUI

Book shelf House

By making the wall diagonal, a new easy-to-use bookshelf integrated with the building was born.  Because all the shelves of the bookshelf are inclined, children, women and old people can easily climb without a ladder, and books of high position can be easily taken out and put in. In addition books don't collapse when an earthquake occurs.
