And what we saw were buildings that were very generic, and worse -- not only were they very generic -- so, not only does the reading room look like the copy room look like the magazine area -- but it meant that whatever issue was troubling the library at that moment was starting to engulf every other activity that was happening in it.
São edifícios muito genéricos. Pior, não só eram edifícios muito genéricos — a sala de leitura parece-se com a sala das cópias, que se parece com a área de revistas — mas significa que qualquer problema que atinja a biblioteca naquele momento, atinge todas as outras atividades.
