Amongst other things, the work of Kristof Kintera reminded me the Encyclopedic Palace of Marino Auriti, a building which planed to contain the world's knowledge! The model of this idea was the central piece of the Venice Biënnale 2013. This book tower of Kintera, like the utopian dream of Auriti, strives to contain and represent the world's knowledge in its entirety. How naïve we are!
