Seattle Public Library

...is where I am currently. Every time I come here I feel overwhelmed and so small. The architecture here is quite amazing and innovative. I've heard a lot of people describe it as cold and too industrial but that's the point I think. 
The Library was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and finished in 2004. 
On the 1st floor of the new Seattle Central Library is artist Ann Hamilton's Floor of Babble. The floor is comprised of backward letters in foreign languages that record the first lines of the library's foreign-book collection.
