Stuttgart City Library
Location: Stuttgart, Germany

The reading room inside the building is shaped like an upside-down pyramid with an open floor plan. The brilliant white interior makes the library feel futuristic and modern like you have just entered a space ship. The people and the books bring color into the building and stand out as important parts of the beauty of the space.
