Modelling Borges's Library of Babel in Sketchup

Well Borges did describe it looking rather futuristic, but if it was my infinite library it would be a Beaux Arts monstrosity, all Ionian columns and red brick, with a structure designed by Escher, an endless maze of rooms, no two alike, impossible to map let alone catalog. My infinity is not sleek and glossy. It is a teratological Julia set made of mahogany with green brass fittings.
