Reading Nest (Mark Reigelman)

A striking example is the "Reading Nest" installation by artist and designer Mark Reigelman. He and his team built a large nest-like structure out of reclaimed wood, lodging it within the main reading room of the Cleveland Public Library in Ohio. The installation [+] created a whimsical new space for children to read and play, benefiting from the library's shelter and existing audience. The library itself [=] was not structurally altered and continued its primary function, hosting this new, temporary inhabitant.
