23. STUTTGART CITY LIBRARY IN STUTTGART,
GERMANY
The aim of the library was to create
a continuum inside of the room ,
so the entire room is painted in
uniform pure-white. The only colour
in the building comes from the books
themselves.
24. ROYAL PORTUGUESE READING ROOM IN RIO DE
JANEIRO, BRAZIL
The library is known for its
Neo-Manueline design, which
"evokes the Gothic-Renaissance
style that flourished during the time of
the Portuguese Discoveries,"
according to My Modern Met .
