    People stop to look at the thousands of so-called [love locks], or [love padlocks], that hang from a fence across the Hohenzollernbruecke bridge on September 13, 2011 in Cologne, Germany.

    Stuttgart City Library



    The city of Stuttgart, Germany has officially opened a marvelous new media center, the Stuttgart City Library.

The visual center of the Stuttgart City Library is its grand atrium, a five-story open chamber that feels like the work of a modernist MC Esher. The interior is bright without direct lighting, it is warm without paint color and intimate yet open. This work by Yi Architects is a success in design, instantly one of the world’s most...
