San Jose Architecture

On my field trip to the 2 billion populated city of San Jose I observed multiple buildings from the San Jose City Hall to the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose. First, we walked through the cold city streets to the San Jose City Hall. As we approached the city hall my first observation was that it was way different from other city halls I have seen. The city hall was tall and glass and said business building not city hall. Also, there was a circular, dome building in front of the city hall that had no particular purpose. It was just there and present. Overall, I thought the building itself was beautiful but not for a city hall.


 As we continued down the windy streets we visited the M.L.K. Jr. Library. I really loved the glass entrance that shot out like an arrow in shape of an triangle. This is what I visioned for the entrance of my school project. I love how transparent it is and brings light inside the library.
