Leonardo Finotti photographed an interesting project by local architect Isay Weinfeld that is up to this brazilian standard, the Livraria da Vila bookstore in São Paulo. An hermetic volume with a pivoting book facade contains an interesting space filled with books distributed over 3 levels as you can see on the photos:
