The city library at Mailänder Platz in the heart of Stuttgart is an impressive building that inspires both day and night. The glass cube exudes a simple elegance and, in the dark, becomes a blue light sculpture that attracts attention. The library is considered one of the most beautiful in the world and has become a popular photo motif in Stuttgart.
Libraries not only have a wealth of knowledge, but are also architectural masterpieces. This also applies to the minimalist building of the city library on Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart, which opened in 2011. The square building extends an impressive 40 meters into the air and impresses with its gray concrete façade and matt glass. These materials give the structure a certain roughness. Inside the library, on the other hand, a bright white environment awaits the visitor – from the wall to the floor to the stairs. This creates a feeling of lightness, clarity and calm.
