Seattle Public Library, July 2011

Today’s NYT architectural review of Rem Koolhaas’ CCTV Headquarters in Beijing prompts this post.  I too was impressed with his work in China but just this week found his 2004 Seattle Public Library to be an even a more stunning piece.  Best of all- because it’s a library- it’s a very accessible building.  I took about three hours to marvel in it and you can, too.  It’s not to be missed on your next visit to Seattle.
