The architecture of the Central Library is still controversial in Seattle: many spread the building too self-confident in the urban skyline of downtown. But maybe just a public building must do this in the middle of all the banking and office towers. Anyway, any passer-by can use it as a public passage, crossing the airy spaces, comfortably negotiating the considerable difference in height between 4th and 5th avenues.

Very amazing public library. Each level is an adventure. Personal favorite is the Map room at the top. Gotta love a good map.
