BIG rocks

I sometimes get calls about our artificial rocks where the customer asks about one of our larger rocks.   I immediately think 2m tall (tall stone 3) and the customer says " Oh no, I mean 2ft wide!"   Everything is relative I suppose.   The artificial rock in the image below is what I call big.  No, make that enormous.  Created by architect Giancarlo Mazzanti, the rocks are buildings that are designed as a library, a cultural centre and a community centre.

Spain Park Public Library, better known as Library Spain, is part of a series of urban projects and social development in this area of Medellin for the cultural and social transformation of the city.
