Philologic library of Free University Berlin.
Designed by Norman Foster, the whole thing was finished in 2005.
Wavy on the inside.
Some call it "the brain".
Though it also has some kind of sphincter.
How it looks most of the time.
It's pretty Mirror's Edgy with some HDR lighting.
Stormtrooper's choice for studying.

this kind of over the top stuff is why tuition goes up every year

the library at my college was pretty dull architecturally but it was open 24 hours all year so that's pretty unusual

Sphincter. Hah.

This is so retro: they still have books there...

It replicates the hemispheres of the brain. Awesome shape for a library

That looks way too bright. I'd be distracted all the time.

It's also fucking loud when it's raining. Form over function, I guess.

It's huge. When will they add the books?
