Dear Sir, The pattern of intersecting circles on the library would be fine as a central feature. To wrap the entire building in the patterns is a vulgar case of ‘more is less’.

Architecture is surely about form and substance not lacy body suits. Is this another ‘Birmingham Icon’, like the Selfridges ‘armadillo’ that will be ridiculed by the rest of the world?
