Really interesting blog on the Seattle Public Library, which discusses the impression the bold design has left on users, good and bad. http://architectureinmedia.wordpress.com/tag/web/

"This collage depicts the mixing chamber on the 5th floor of the Seattle Central Library, on the top of the floating platform dedicated for meeting rooms.

This sort of representations is usually devised not to transmit an actual impression of space, but an intention of experience and atmosphere in a certain space.

In this case, we can observe how patrons and librarians interact in a constant flow of interdisciplinary information, creating a stimulating environment of exchange."
