Close, but I was thinking more along the line of mostly a theme of grass roof and walls. Muliti-story, living quarters upstairs and heated by nice mud fireplaces fired with the dried native droppings of the area wild life, like rhinos, water buffalo and democrats.

How can an architect design anything that would be no better than a huge turd. A library for what - success in striving to destroy America. Please they need an architect. Just contact Rent-a-John or Port-A-Potty. Just maybe they can erect a bigger craphouse, complete with a large toilet paper dispenser. The only problem is that Chicago will need to update its sanitary sewer system, because it will not be able to handle the crap flow from the so called library.

I’m envisioning some styrofoam Greek columns, a putt putt course and a prayer rug as a few features of the library.

Plus, add that MO doesn’t think black people feel comfortable in a place with the ‘museum appreciating’ whitey...

Too bad Cabrini green is no more...

Four stories. A puppet theater, on top of a crack house, on top of a circus, on top of a mosque. All on an abandoned military base.

You don’t need an architect to design an outhouse. His literary output is crap.

No ‘comments’ section in the NYT for this story. The editors probably knew it would get a deluge of comic comments.

I’m thinking they need a new Imhotep to provide our Pharaoh with an appropriate temple to his ego.
