Example: <dim>

These search results reproduce every example of the use of <dim> in the Guidelines, including all localised and translated versions. In some cases, the examples have been drawn from discussion of other elements in the Guidelines and illustrating the use of <dim> is not the main focus of the passage in question. In other cases, examples may be direct translations of each other, and hence identical from the perspective of their encoding.

16 thousand square

   <p>The library has ten windowless floors for book storage, each having enough space for 120 thousand volumes.
       These storage areas have the necessary lighting, temperature and humidty conditions for book conservation.
       In the reading room, flanked by a garden on each side, the diffuse and matte light is filtered through
   <material>thin tecali stone slabs</material>. The semi-basement of the building contains the service
       and administrative offices of the library.</p>
   <p>The building facades are covered with one of the largest murals in the world and is made from naturally

    <label>Base</label> At the base of the building there are two basalt fountains and decorative reliefs
       around the outside that are inspired by pre-Hispanic art. The color of the stone in these elements is left
       exposed to take advantage of the stone's texture as an aesthetic and expressive element, and to give a
       sense of continuity to the external pavement.</decoNote>
   <decoNote>
    <label>Murals</label>
    <p>The outside windowless portion of the building contains one of the largest murals in the world. This is
         called <title>Historical Representation of the Culture</title> and is a <material>stone polychromatic
           mosaic</material> based on the combination of 12 basic colors. The mural is created in an
         impressionist style where the coloured tiles when seen from a distance form specific figures. The 12
         colors where chosen from 150 samples of original stones with the criteria including the stone's
         resistance to degredation by weather. According to the artist, <persName role="artist">Juan
           O'Gorman</persName>, in the mosaic he represented three fundamental historical facets of the Mexican
         culture: the pre-Hispanic era, the Spanish colonial era, and the modern age. For example with the North
         Wall, this represents the pre-Hispanic era and is dominated by mythical elements relating to the
         life-death duality. The left side of the main axis there are
         deities and scenes pertaining to the creation of life. The right hand side of the mural contains figures
         relating to death. For a more detailed description see <ref target="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Library_(UNAM)#Murals">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Library_(UNAM)#Murals</ref>.</p>
