A book, understood as a traditional object with printed pages, is commonplace. It is such a quotidian object that it has become invisible. We say book, but we think text.
Books possess an architectural quality. By means of making visible the unseen relations uniting the sequence of inner spaces that a book is, the object is no longer a secondary element in the process of reading. It is the process of reading in itself. Content and container are not separate entities anymore.
A book does not exist without a hand to turn its pages and discover the spaces lying within it. A book does not exist without the space that surrounds it and which, in turn, is part of the story contained in the object. A book does not exist without the inhabitant to decide how to open the book inside that space. A book does not exist without the story and the spaces inside the space that create it.
After all, a book is the container of infinite stories.
