It's silly.
Waste of materials and square footage and will be more difficult to live in and maintain than a conventional building would have been.
All costs borne by a Parish that does not have extra money to spend, most especially on a dinosaur such as a brick & mortar Library.
All to serve some egos (mainly in the Architectural world).

Good to see they think they fixed it, but I still wouldn’t walk under that cantilever.

It's not a great design but it's not bad. I would like to see what it's like inside with all the natural light. It's looks like a poor man's version of the Seattle Public Library which is an amazing building, especially the interior.

Did they fix the structural problems?

It looks like a cheese grater and a Buick Skylark radiator were first cousins but decided to have a kid together anyway.

I like it better with Mammoet support columns.

I hate it, but I hate most modern architecture.

neighboring "modernist" structures are much more attractive.
The new library looks really cheap, especially from the sides.

I don't like cheap looking modern design. Meaning a lot of paneling and ugly cladding.
I like some - usually heavy glass and metal.
But I also think that IBM building is pretty ugly. Very 00s hospital vibe.

It's definitely safer with those jacks.

The stone around the base saves the design. I like it.
I also like the IBM logo.

Easier to throw all the upcoming banned books on the bonfire from up there.

There are a lot of better examples of forward thinking architecture in downtown Baton Rouge, including a mid century modern office building by A Hays Town.
The giant whistle (library) looks derivative and cheap.
