Fire devastates Delft architecture faculty

[ctesiphon]

Just heard about this today:

A “catastrophic” fire has caused serious damage to the architecture faculty at Delft University in the Netherlands, endangering first edition books by Rem Koolhaas and MVRDV and Gerrit Rietveld furniture.

Although no-one was injured in the blaze, much of the 14-storey building has been completely destroyed, BD understands.

Firefighters salvaged 80 models and 200 chairs from the basement early today. Looks like the building is going to be demolished soon because it is structurally unsound.
