Seattle Central Library - flattened soda can?

🌟Name: Seattle Central Library 🌟Design company: Rem Koolhaas | OMA Completion time: 2004 The Central Library has a very obvious Koolhaas design style, with several independent blocks, horizontally staggered, covered together with a glass skin full of diagonal structures, dissolving the floors and forming a slightly peculiar geometric shape. It reminds people of Koolhaas' another representative work in Beijing: the CCTV building. Koolhaas has always tried to use structural means and clever design to make the blocks float in his works. In the traditional street facades of downtown Seattle, the design of the Central Library brings a fresh impact and has become a new landmark building in the city. In terms of space and color processing, the interior is also quite bold, breaking the inherent impression of traditional libraries. Due to its innovative architectural form, the library's functions have also been restructured.
