TOW (& Answer)...
This week’s question was what do the two scallop-shaped entry points flanking the entrance to the Maguire Gardens at the Central Library represent? Well the one on the left represents the archaic. It, to quote my source, “represents the urge to build and embellish…” Its look is derived from the Mixtec and Inca. The one on the right represents the post-literate. It contains mathematical equations from early in the twentieth century. These equations “suggest the contemporary intellectual ground in which it is precisely known that nothing is certain.”
