I heard the word dynamic used to describe the design so that's a good thing.

Agreed! It's the equivalent of unveiling a new piece of art without it being there to see. Now imagine how it looks...

Maybe this:

"Mahmud Abdulla ‏@RealtinChestmer 16m
@markusoff @kimrobyn looks like something that belongs in New Orleans. What's with the canary yellow colour?"

Oh god we're doomed haha.

Not striving for a great building? Is that some kind of architect’s code for not going over the top with the architecture? Or is he just managing expectations?

I like how the color is his biggest beef.

#NCLinEV includes cafe spaces, 300-seat theater, boisterous spaces, and quiet contemplative spaces.

The Sun is going to hate it... After all the only thing they hate more than spending money is reading.

There's a "rhythm" to the new Central Library. Architecture is frozen music after all. #NCLinEV
