ArchitectureWeek Description
Seattle Public Library's new Central Library, designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, prompted international notice even before the doors opened to this $159 million showplace. Yet Seattle Public Library's new prominence came after more than a century of tumult with many heroic struggles, from its itinerant existence in a pioneer boom town to its wired wonders in a world technology center. The author recounts the fascinating stories behind the books and buildings of Seattle Public Library. Marshall also profiles many intriguing people who enlivened Seattle Public Library and its contributions to the city.
