Seattle Public Library

Architects – Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince Ramus

For this building I remember learning about it my sophmore year of College. When I first saw it, it stood out to me because it was not your typical building for a library. It was it’s own design that attracted the eye of the public and could persuade them to go inside and read. The concept of this building was to use natural lighting for the reader and enjoy the sun while reading a good book. Its the concept of urban development introduced in to a common building to make the reader aware of a space created to use natural resources. This building just makes me feel at peace because who does not enjoy a good book with great lighting. It gives the sense of a spotlight while reading which makes it feel amazing.
