The New Koolhaas

Posted on Tuesday 18 May 2004

Has anyone noticed that Herbert Muschamp’s review of the Rem Koolhaas new building, Seattle’s Central Library, contains not one but three uses of the term bling-bling? He even adds an emphatic Bling! to one of the captions to the slide show. I know the Times is trying to be a little more current in their culture coverage, but this is ridiculous.

Thankfully the review isn’t bad and the slide shows are quite exciting. The building looks just lovely. I particularly like the Dewey Decimal floor mats. Do you think they come in LC numbering?
