As the plan is simple, it seems to get powerful.
Asplund's library is Stockholm's most internationally acclaimed building. While I was getting closer to the library, I could see only cylinder form and squares. Only the orange colour of the elevation looked exotic. However if you get into the library, the panorama of books make an unique view and realise why the outerior had to be. It is said that the inspiration was a temple of wisdom, borrowing form and ornament from ancient Egypt. As we can see in the picture, the building is all about books and history.
