I live in Birmingham and go up to the city centre a lot to photograph buildings and on going building projects.
I did not like the building when I first saw the drawings, and as it has gone up I still don't like it.
I have TRIED to like it, but just cant bring myself to like it.
To me its nothing more than a few boring square boxes stuck one on top of the other, with an awful metal fretwork covering on the outside.
I think the lack of visible windows from the outside makes it look rather soul less.
I don't think I will ever like it, though I cant wait for them to knock down the old library and redevelop the whole area.
This is what will replace the old library and surrounding buildings
