With the new Medical Library Düsseldorf´s

The design for the 38 meter high structure stacks the
various functions on top of one another and is the architectural expression of
a capillary system. This idea is very effectively displayed through the smooth,
white skin of the façade that forms a network of organic glass shapes over the
slender cube - a lively building with high identification and recognition value.
