Heh. I think it's a weird and wonderful building that's in a perfect place -- right under that 60's future-dream Space Needle and Monorail. It's entirely appropriate that the building should be as initially discordant to eye as Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner or Nirvana's Teen Spirit is to the ear of those who just don't get it. (I'm only disappointed that the colored skin being placed on it is done in separate metal pieces rather than as some kind of unified plastic skin.) For those who can't see it in person, you can get some sense of what the inevitable controversy is about with this web cam: experience.org That's the Monorail running through the middle of the building. The picture is taken from the Space Needle which is right across the street.
