Le Traité de documentation
Files, texts and experiments related to Paul Otlet, Traité de documentation: le livre sur le livre, théorie et pratique, Editions Mundaneum (Bruxelles, 1934)
Agents + actors
The cast of historical, contemporary and fictional people that populate La Mondothèque.
La Pyramide
"A pyramid is a structure whose outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top"[1]
A slew of pyramids can be found in all of Paul Otlet's drawers. Knowledge schemes and diagrams, drawings and drafts, designs, prototypes and architectural plans (including works by Le Corbusier and Maurice Heymans) employ the pyramid to provide structure, hierarchy, precise path and finally access to the world's synthesized knowledge. At specific temporal cross-sections, these plans were criticized for their proximity to occultism or monumentalism. Today their rich esoteric symbolism is still readily apparent and gives reason to search for possible spiritual or mystical underpinnings of the Mundaneum.
