[edit] Undulating auditorium ceiling

I was in Viipuri on August 16, 2003, and no only was the auditorium ceiling being repaired on that very day, but I managed to graffiti my name onto the supporting carcassing. Anyone who wishes to go there and dismantle the ceiling will be able to verify this.

Surely it is therefore in error to say that the ceiling has not been repaired.

[edit] Interior

I can swear that I visited a bookstore in Berlin the interior of which was laid out in exactly the same manner as in this picture of this library's insides. Can anyone provide an explanation? Unfortunately, I have no memory of what that bookstore was called, but it's just too perfect of a match to be of mere coincedence.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 22:07, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Aalto designed several buildings for Berlin, but I don't think these were bookstores. I have seen a 1930s photograph of the ceiling in question. It is almost identical to the modern picture on www.aalto.vbg.ru. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 09:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Not that it helps, but then it is me who doesn't remember the details. I can imagine that the building could have been re-purposed, though, but that's just pure speculation.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 12:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
