[...] Este é, de longe, um dos projetos mais inspiradores que eu conheço. Desenvolvidos pelos arquitetos de 2 estúdios de arquitetura, OMA e LMN. E não é só o revestimento ou a estrutura. São as novas relações de programa, que tornam esta mais do que meramente uma biblioteca, mas um espaço público melhorado em torno do conhecimento. A Biblioteca Central de Seattle redefine a biblioteca enquanto instituição, que não é mais dedicada exclusivamente aos livros, mas enquanto reserva de informações, onde todas as formas potenciais de mídia – novas e velhas – são apresentadas igualmente e legivelmente. Em uma era na qual a informação pode ser acessada de qualquer lugar, é a simultaneidade de toda a mídia e, mais importante, a curadoria do seu conteúdo, que tornarão a biblioteca um espaço vital…….Mais [...]

Glen,
have you used the Spiral in a wheelchair? The bumps enable me to pause without rolling in any direction, and without putting on my pesty breaks.

of course, criticism is due, the building is far from perfect, but pause for a moment and think from the perspective of many of the users: it’s a type of architecture rarely presented in public spaces, it is free access to contemporary art and design, and it’s one of the best-equipped libraries in the world for computer usage.

yes, it’s flawed, but it’s also one of the first of its kind.
have you ever seen a library like it?
i’ve seen many a museum with similar traits, but never a library.
