Klementinum, Prag Ova predivna biblioteka je odličan primer barokne arhi- tekture jer se nije promenila od dana kada je otvorena 1722. godine. Zidovi i krov su ukrašeni freskama, a kom- binuju prikaze umetnosti i nauke. U središtu dvorane do- miniraju veliki globusi, a u biblioteci se može pronaći oko 20.000 knjiga, uglavnom teoloških, a neke datiraju čak iz 16. veka. CLEMENTINUM, PRAGUE This wonderful library is an excellent example of Baroque architecture, thanks to the fact that it hasn’t changed since the day it opened in 1722. The walls and ceiling are decorated with frescoes that combine representations of the arts and sciences. Dominating the centre of the hall are large globes, while the library’s fund includes around 20,000 books that are mostly related to theology, some of which date all the way back to the 16 th century.
Crni dijamant, Kopenhagen Crni dijamant je elegantan, ali nenametljiv dodatak stari- joj zgradi. Izlazi na obalu kao brod, njegov ogromni kosi sta- kleni zid pruža čitaocima besprekoran pogled na marinu. Zgrada se sastoji od dve polovine, ujedinjene mostovima preko centralnog atrijuma koji simbolično predstavlja ve- zu prošlosti i sadašnjosti Danske. Crna kocka spolja očara- va linijama, sjajnim crnim granitom i staklenom površinom, dok iznutra ima krivudave oblike, široke prostore i pokret- ne stepenice. BLACK DIAMOND, COPENHAGEN The Black Diamond is a classy yet understated addition to an older building. Jutting onto the waterfront like a docked ship, its huge slanted glass wall provides a view of the adjacent marina. The building is constituted into two halves, united by bridges across a central atrium that doubles as a symbol of the unity between Denmark’s past and present. The black cube is mesmerising on the outside, with its otherworldly lines and glossy black granite and glass surface, while on the inside it boasts twisting forms, wide spaces and escalators.
Filološka biblioteka, Berlin Unutrašnjost Filološke biblioteke je impresivna jer dizajn obuhvata krivine i či- ste bele linije kako bi čitavoj zgradi dao kinetički osecaj, a police za knjige i stanice za čitanje deluju kao međusobno povezani neuroni. Metafora inspiri- sana strukturom mozga se nastavlja dok se prostorija deli na dve hemisfere, koje se postepeno sužavaju sve dok se kupola ne zatvori. Zgrada zaista delu- je živo, jer poseduje dvostruku kožu na svojim zidovima koja se može zatvoriti i otvoriti kao odgovor na promenljivu klimu Berlina. PHILOLOGICAL LIBRARY, BERLIN The interior of the Philological Library is impressive, as the design utilises curves and clean white lines to give the entire building a kinetic feel, with the bookshelves and reader stations acting like interconnected neurons. The brain metaphor is continued as the room splits into two hemispheres that gradually narrow in size until they reach the closing of the cupola. The build- ing truly feels alive, as it possesses a double ‘skin’ shell on its walls that can close and open in response to Berlin’s varying climate.
