The library hosted a swim party for all kids 6-18 who had read over 30 books in the Texas Reading Club. There was fun in the Friendswood pool, plus grilled hot dogs by the Boy Scouts and popsicles for everyone!

Seattle Public Library
Architect: Rem Koolhaas
This really suprised me. I wasn't expecting the vertical 'monolith' at all, and it was great to discover (not that I had to look that hard). It certainly is a welcome juxtaposition to the faceted facade.
It is a classic Koolhaas; the colorful material-mix, the love of industrial materials and the--excuse me Rem--thrown-together detailing. Of course the detailing is done very well in certain areas; just look at how one barely sees the red hallway behind the metal-corrugated lathe on the right of the foyer. (the next shot on my stream is looking back out to where this was taken). On the other hand, look at the steel bracing emerging out of the concrete elevator-core. No transition, no visual transfer of forces. Most of the steel-work is like that. And steel detailing can be sooo beautiful. I just couldn't do it myself as an architect but that seems to be part of his charm, I suppose. Scarpa, he is not.

Library of Celsus, Ephesus. Notice the hybrid Roman capital on an unfluted column, combining the Greek Ionian and Corinthian styles: Rome proclaims itself a new world order that surpasses all that was ancient Greece.
