Instagram: The Architecture Hurt My Toe


The other day, on my way to pick up some books at the library, I had an architectural accident: these silly doors are so poorly designed--it isn't clear till you get up close where the handle is or which way you open the door or when you open it, how much of the door will swing open.

All that to say, I think that safety is an important goal in architecture, and these doors are not safe. I hobbled into the stacks and sat for an hour reading some of the books that I came to pick up until my toe stopped bleeding and I could walk again.
