    POSTCARD FROM PROVIDENCE

    Dear ArchitectureWeek,

    Add to your list of great spaces to visit: the new Fleet Library of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in DownCity, Providence. The 1917 12-story former office building now houses 130,000 books and 685,000 images (slides, videos and pictures). Well designed, up-to-date conditions and equipment for feasting on this information and knowledge are lovingly inserted into this Italian high-renaissance-style banking hall. The in-house Portfolio Cafe makes daily food feasting convenient and stylish too. Above the two-story library is housing for 500 RISD students.
