ghost trees
Platanus bibliotechalis features stark white tree trunks that climb some 60 feet up and around the library’s soaring interior stairwell. Cast in porcelain from sycamore bark, they represent a made-up species inspired by L.A.’s indigenous sycamores, some of which grow in a nearby park.
The trees are designed to usher the outdoors ins–to, as the press release says, create “a link between the park… and the library itself.”
