Mui Ho Fine Arts Library

At first glance, there's not much thrilling about the library - the Mui Ho Fine Arts Library - in the video above.

There are a bunch of bookshelves in open stacks three stories high.  All in all, meh. That's been done before - and much higher, honestly.

But then you get to the moment in the above video - about 0:55 in - where they mention that the books and the floors and shelves supporting them are NOT actually supported by the floor below but rather are hung from the ceiling.

Tension...not compression.

How cool is that?

I mean, as long as you aren't wearing a skirt, a dress, or high heels, anyway.
