An MA U of C, this is a brilliant library: an aesthetic of not having any entrance--towards the advancement of knowledge, the highest contribution we make as humans. Honored to be a graduate of Chicago. Kudos to Joe and Rika Mansueto for a work of art.

Programmatically and architecturally this "library in a nutshell" is an expression of genius.
