National library: is it pretty?



It shouldn't be shocking that this proposed new building of the Czech National Library in Prague - to be located in Letná near the Prague Castle (click) - is controversial. Some people dislike it. For example, the Czech president has announced that he will prevent the birth of this octopus with his own body. Others have compared it to the statue of Stalin that used to stand on the same spot. :-)

Do you like it? Do you like the
other buildings of the Czech-born architect Jan Kaplický?
