Alice Kuder I did not submit the photo of the SW Library Branch as a photo of the Central Library. Walk-Score added my photo to the Central system.

The curtain wall at the downtown SPL was engineered specifically for this unique building by Rem Koolhaas | OMA. The perforated sheet metal creates static louvers that allow light in from some angles and not others to keep heating and cooling the building efficient. I highly recommend a tour of this fascinating building! #architecture #architectural-tour #donotmiss

I took my anachronistic city-avoiding dad the most contemporary building in Seattle, the Central Library. He loved it! This is him looking at a video art installation embedded in the wall with a peek at the elevator shaft on the other side.

You can always find surprising things in the Children's Section - large stuffed animals, nicely decorated reading place, and beautiful family and kids restrooms.
