The new San Jose City Hall

Our new city hall just opened on Oct. 15.
It has a nice civic plaza, high tech city council chambers and the distintive glass en-cased Rotunda.

Just a little bit overbudget and some contract shenanigans with the city officers and big name
supplier.

Wish I could visit the insides of the rotunda, but it was being used for some kind of event.

Just down the street is my alma mater, San Jose State University. Went inside the fairly new city/
school library, the Martin Luther King Library.
Here is a pic of the Tower Hall at SJSU

The ultra modern high-tech vs the old classic...quite a comparison, Bryan and both images are beautifully done! VOTE.

Great night image Bryan. The mist in the floodlights is perfect. Well done.

that rotunda looks like it was made for night shots. :-)

Impressive architectural design. I like that you took it at night and made it glow. It really contrasts with the traditional/older Tower Hall. I really do like both styles.
