Interesting facts:
[emoji770] The Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart is the public library of the city of Stuttgart.
[emoji770] The Municipal Library has become Stuttgart’s new intellectual and cultural centre that is open to people of every nation.
[emoji770] This is also symbolised by the inscriptions on the outer walls: the word "Library" in silver letters is in English on the west wall, in German on the north, in Korean on the East and in Arabic on the south.
[emoji770] Its Korean architect, the monolith, whose façade incorporates countless glass blocks, is a polished jewel. Grey and unpretentious by day, the library cube glows at night in an iridescent blue.
[emoji770] From the outside the building seems closed off, but a new world opens up on entering: a 14-metre-high, empty hall, lit only by one overhead window. 100 sq. m of void to offset the everyday hustle and bustle.
