Remarkable Resilience, el Morro
In western New Mexico, bordering on the Ramah Navajo Reservation, a
castle-like natural rock formation looms from the surrounding plateau of
scrubby desert plants and junipers. Gathering a few ponderosas on its
skirts, the sandstone bluff juts 200 feet above the surrounding land.
This is El Morro, where history is written with permanence found on the
old civilization monuments in the Near East, telling of the battles of
ancient kings.

Vancouver Public Library, British Columbia , Canada
Does the fight for literacy take place in a Roman coliseum? It does in
Vancouver, where the city's new library became an instant landmark. The
building has 315 arches divided into nine floors. At certain points, the
outer spiral of arches leaves the main body of the library like the
spiraling arms of a hurricane. These create the wide plazas that the
locals are so fond of for relaxing, reflecting, studying, debating, and
more.
