Miler Lagos’ Awesome Book Igloo is Stacked High with Recycled Reading Materials

Artist <a href="http://milerlagos.com">Miler Lagos</a> recently unveiled an incredible igloo made from hundreds of books! We've seen <a href="http://inhabitat.com/incredible-house-sculpture-made-from-hundreds-of-recycled-books-by-cardiffmiller/">houses made of books</a> before, but this unique domed construction was built with volumes taken from the library of a defunct US Navy base. The Colombian artist arranged the books in a neat dome to explore the dynamics between nature, culture, and material possessions.

The books' colorful spines of the books face inwards revealing the titles of their contents.

From dictionaries to geography volumes the 9-foot space thus contains the knowledge held within the books.

It also presents a space filled with information to be passed between generations.

The playful structure provides a protective shelter for its imagined residents.

The books are arranged with the pages facing outwards to create a a white shell.
