Small Wonders

Los Angeles Bigger isn't necessarily better these days.

San Francisco They say that good things come in small packages, but one time we unwrapped a present that looked like it was going to be jewelry only to open the box and find a crappy keychain.

Chicago From the Willis Tower to the size of our food portions, Chicago is well known for thinking large (have you seen William “The Refrigerator” Perry???).

We all want to leave it all behind and escape into beach, ski, or paraglide bum status on an exotic island.

Compact design is changing how we live, how we travel, and even how we think of libraries.
