Entry này Lu post cho thèng ku Khôi kiến trúc tham khảo về thiết kế thư viện. Rất tiếc là tìm chưa được floor plan cho The National Library, theo chị Lu thì thư viện của Belarus này có khuynh hướng design theo phong cách playfull, sẽ tìm bản vẽ sau. Bây giờ chị Lu muốn đi khò rồi, đặt cục gạch hai cái nhà đọc này trước mai sẽ cho lên tiếp. Có gì thắc mắc cứ hỏi tự nhiên heng!
