I agree with you. But what is the correct word for architectural features that detract from functionality? They're often called "design" whether we like it or not.
Whatever they ought to be called instead, it looks to me like the space is not lacking in them--curves and inconvenient angles in particular.
- antris 8y agoYou might be talking about purely aesthetic design. But I disagree, I've been to the place and it was a very functional and easy-to-understand building architecturally. But also beautiful and calming. Aesthetics are a very important and underrated aspect of architecture and I'm glad that money has been spent on this project. When the architecture is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, people tend to use it more. And what good comes from a library that nobody would want to go to?
