The Seattle Central Library of OMA(Rem Koolhaas) creates a civic space for the circulation of knowledge in all media, and an innovative organizing system for an ever-growing physical collection – the Books Spiral. The library’s various programs are intuitively arranged across five platforms and four flowing “in-between” planes, which together dictate the building’s distinctive faceted shape, offering the city an inspiring building that is robust in both its elegance and its logic. For the most suitable circulation was created for the purpose of the library, and the form of the building was planned only skin over the function of the building.
