The Stadtbibliothek am Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart, designed by Korean architect Eun Young Yi, is an iconic example of contemporary minimalist architecture. Completed in 2011, the library is a cube-shaped structure, with each side measuring 44 meters. The building’s exterior is clad in pale gray glass bricks, creating a monolithic appearance that contrasts with the dynamic interior. At night, it is illuminated in blue.
