Yesterday, on Earth Day, Seattle's latest green building celebrated its grand opening: The Bullitt Center, a super-efficient office space at 1501 East Madison Street, was designed to become the world’s largest functioning, commercial Living Building, using an estimated 83 percent less energy than a typical Seattle office building and achieving Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Water. — bustler.net

wow. ugly.
not 83% less than a code-built project, though. comparing to projects built 40 years ago is laughable. we could also compare it to a project built 250 years ago and proclaim it is 80,000x worse...
Seattle is a great canvas that has been marred by occasional misses. This is ugly, but Rem's Seattle Public Library is even worse. Innovative? Yes. Ugly? That too.
