The Library of Babel is a short story by Jorge Louis Borges that depicts the concept of a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible 410-page books of a certain format and character set. The project is a re-design of the short story in four different configurations following a set of six rules. The generative process is executed by carrying out an analogue process of typesetting and letterpress printing.
The Library is made out of hexagonal shapes, of which two walls are entrances and the other four are filled with bookshelves. Numbers III, IV, V and VI were chosen to determine the content, layout and type size of the prints. Six rules are applied to the text, using each of the four previously mentioned numbers as a base.
