My EYES! my EYES!

Do I have any readers from Seattle who can either confirm or deny that the new public library there is as ugly as it looks?

I don't have as much against really "out there" kinds of buildings, and I kind of like the way this thing looks from the outside, except to note that I think it belongs more on Coruscant or Starfleet Academy than in Seattle, but the inside is just horrible, to judge by Kunstler's pictures. But then, I'm one of those weird folks what likes to see books someplace in eyeshot upon entering a library.

UPDATE: Here's a more detailed exegesis on how bad it is. It doesn't look like any kind of human element was planned for at all.
