That building is almost as ugly as Barrack's husband.

I HATE modernism, library or not, buildings used to inspire and be beautiful, now it's all soulless like the people who build them.



Get off my lawn...

You are not wrong. It looks like something the Russians would have built in Romania in the '70s.

They had $850mil and built that? I'm no fan of the Obamas, but I would have expected them to look at that rendering and say "Oh hell no".

That thing is hideous.

No color, no art, plain gray building, looks like some Russian cold war relic.

All the warmth of modern day collectivism, huh?

Looks like Soviet era state architecture.

Thee Black Jesus Lair. Ugly. A decade later and still not complete. The locals all Angered as it is a narcissistic ugly building that stole their space.

Construction crews went on strike and declared racism or some such crap.

This is Brutalism, a very specific type of modernism that was popular with the Soviets. Kind of fitting.

There are some great examples of attractive modernist architecture like Fallingwater, really anything that Frank Lloyd Wright or Richard Neutra desinged. Other designs like the Sydney Opera House and Kennedy Center are also beautiful examples of that era. Then there's ugly Brutalist and International Style concrete and glass boxes. You almost feel depressed looking at it. I personally feel that it intentionally debases the American aesthetic, much like a lot of things Obama did to intentionally debase the country.
