I'm okay with the architecture one way or another - what's dismal about the whole affair is Birmingham ploughing money into these civic egoboost projects while the rest of the country's public library sector is in meltdown. |
This is a flawed analysis. As has already been stated, funding for this project was obtained in 2008, before the recent economic slowdown. It's regrettable that local libraries should have to close, but it's not as a result of this superb new library in Birmingham.
