Koolhaas Library NY Times

Compare the new Seattle Library with Kahn and Tyng's design for a Municiple Building, Philadelphia, 1952-57 (as seen on pp. 30-31 of LOUIS I. KAHN: COMPLETE WORKS 1935-1974).
Also look at the color sketck on page 27 which is evocative of other the other recent Koolhaas architecture of irregular shape.
Is a book entitled LEARNING FROM EARLY KAHN PHILADELPHIA virtually in the works?
