#1 This is the central public library, it was designed by the modernist Mexican architect Ricardo Legorretta. It was also "Spy Kid" headquarters in the children's film of the same title. (A bit of vignetting in the corners from my hood, I never noticed that before!)

    I love the first one. Generally I don't care for anything contemporary much preferring traditional styling. Maybe it's the colors or the geometric repetitive pattern. Whatever it is, it's really neat.
