The library is in an entirely different class of waste. They had an unlimited budget, and exceeded it simply to prove that they could.
Also, this is up the street from Summit Place.
The design of the MMA is a good example of how not to construct a public building. It manages to be unimpressive yet dysfunctional all at once. I said "preserve the arch feature", not save the entire building. The arch idea could have been incorporated into some aspect of the museum project. Instead the architect gave us 1970s diagonal wooden siding.
