The Book Cell is an octagonal building made entirely from books that was installed in the Modern Art Center in Lisboa, Portugal. Matej Kren is the Slovakian artist behind the construction of this literary work of architectural art.
I can't say that the Book Cell by Matej Kren is the best way to make use of literature, but hey, anything is better than having them rot away in an unused library. Now a building made out of Kindles, that would be something.
