Bohlin Cywinski Jackson and Bassetti Architects Headline at the opening in September, 2003 On Architecture: Confusion trumps beauty at Seattle's new City Hall A few excerpts illustrated in this photo: "Another holdover from the early scheme is the five-story curved glass wall on the south side of the office block that houses the finance department, city clerk and top-floor mayor's office. This elevation is one of four entirely different architectural expressions on the tower. It has little to do with context or climate judging from the unrelieved expanse of glass facing directly south into the sun." "The west side of the new City Hall is a cliffhanger in more ways than one. Until the Municipal Building comes down and the new plaza is built in its footprint by 2004, it will not be known if landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson (with Swift & Co.) conquered the 40-foot grade change BCJ created with the plinth. A vast sweep of steps rising over three stories (perhaps only attractive to climbers training for Mount Rainier) will connect Fourth Avenue to the main lobby level on Fifth. Scaled to mere mortals on the east side, City Hall threatens to resemble Valhalla from the west."
