The exterior of the building is mostly complete and the interior of the library is getting finished out. Walls are all enclosed and the aspen wood paneling is going on the ceiling. Here are a few pictures from last week.

Cerise Park LLC is seeking annexation of Thompson Park into the Town of Carbondale. Our site plan for the project establishes a road and infrastructure framework that preserves the historic precinct around the Historic House, enhances connectivity of roads and bike/pedestrian paths in town and allows for build out of the rest of the “county island”. The plan also allows a certain amount of flexibility for the type of housing that can be built, although diversity of unit types and a gradation of density from low to high closer to Highway 133 remains a primary goal of the development team. The issue of sustainability is addressed in this project by its smart location and non-automobile dependent linkages; by a traditional, walkable neighborhood pattern; and by a commitment to green construction and solar-ready buildings.

Just a few quick photos of the current state of the library. The pre-patinated copper is already starting to change color, the difference in color on the bottom portion is from a batch installed a week later than the top.
Berlin Museum of Letters
Stumbled upon this over at Core77 – an entire museum devoted to giant letters. There are some excellent specimens of typography salvaged from Berlin and all over the country. Gallery
