On a late-summer day, I visited the Boston Public Library as I was exploring the city. I took a subway train there, and it was a short walk from the station to the library. Based on my knowledge, the library was comprised of two interconnected buildings, the newer Johnson Building and the older McKim Building, which almost juxtapose each other. When I walked to the entrance of the Johnson building, I first noticed how I was able to clearly see the interior due to the amount of glass used in the design. To me, the glass that stretched all the way down to the ground provided a feeling of connectedness between the building’s interior and the outside sidewalk. As I roamed inside the Johnson building, I remember most vividly the multiple-floors with walkways and orange-colored accents. As I went further into the library looking at books and climbing stairs, I eventually got lost and had to take some time to find my way back out.
