4 Days and Counting

On Sunday, Rem Koolhaas and OMA's Seattle Public Library opens to the public. What at first was a controversial design for its bulky mass and alien form is becoming a highly lauded building, even before being used by the public.

To get a taste for the design, The Seattle Times has a great online resource covering the library and its architecture, a one-stop shop for all your Koolhaas needs. Including axonometric diagrams, VR tours, critical writings (from their paper and others), and great images, it appears that they are proud of the new addition to Seattle's downtown.
