Was he back on the MJ when he picked that design? If I ever became president, my library would look like the hall of justice.

The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park has drawn significant criticism for its striking, brutalist architecture, which many have described as ugly, monolithic, and overbearing.
Design Criticisms and Nicknames
The $850 million project, which includes a 225-foot tower, has been heavily mocked for its stark, largely windowless silhouette. Critics have labeled it a "concrete tomb," a "Death Star," and the "Obamalisk". Others have likened its heavy, unusual shape to a World War II German flak tower, a Star Wars Gonk droid, or even a tombstone. 
Local and Public Reaction
Beyond aesthetics, the project has sparked local controversy. Community groups on Chicago's South Side have expressed concerns about the structure taking up public parkland, as well as worries about gentrification, soaring rents, and rising property taxes in the surrounding neighborhoods. Others have criticized the ballooning construction costs and the environmental impact on the historic park. 
For an on-the-ground look at why the building's design has alienated some local residents and sparked gentrification worries on Chicago's South Side:

So... basically it's a giant eyesore that took it's design cues from "the emplre" from star for obama to walk around in while advising people "I find your lack of woke disturbing" and the like.

Seems appropriate: Lose a professional football team, gain a monument to woke cultism.

Did you get ^this from FOS LIES?  LMAO

The South side of Chicago is lucky to have a first class library no matter what it looks like.

Who cares about the aesthetics of Obama's library? If he's happy with it, that's all that matters.

The people don't' seem to think so. They liked the park.  And it's not a 'library' the way you mean it, it's a president's library. Which is essentially a museum.

robowoke can't wait to get its hands on Sunny Hostin's discourses on Black Greek History. It talks all about how blacks are the primary reason Greek culture was so influential.

Not if you have to live within the shadow of that monstrosity.

Looks like something from the mind of Zack Snyder's dystopian future.

Beggers can't be choosers. You're never going to look at it, so it doesn't matter.
