Seattle Public Library

Simply the best.

Highly recommended

It was extremely hard to even find the listing for this…apparently, the management is wise enough not to engage public opinion. What passes for genius in today’s world eludes me…this testament to inhuman, technology-based architecture is reminiscent of the buildings of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia…it demeans the users by separating us from the usability of the facility. Did the foreign architects the city fathers in my hometown hired ever hear of the phrase “form follows function”? I have gotten lost in this building twice, the noise levels are exacerbated by the hard, angular walls, and the “open space design” reeling over our heads leaves people too dizzy to think.
