Joy writes “Rem Koolhaas — architect of the Seattle Public Library’s new Central Library — has won the 2005 Wired Rave Award for Architecture. The announcement is @Wired

“The new crown jewel of Seattle. Koolhaas and his firm, OMA, didn’t set out to build a house of books. The architects wanted to crack a bigger problem: how to store information. ‘A library has to adapt to social and technological change and to the accumulation of books,’ says Koolhaas.””
