stuttgart, kunstmuseum

Three images of taken from the museum looking out: on the left is a view over the rear, upper-level plaza, in the middle is a view over the stairs that connect the two plazas, and on the right is a view over the lower piazza to Konigstrasse, Stuttgart's main pedestrian avenue. The left and middle images belie the extent of the "cube's" coverage; the glass strip running through the plaza on the left acts as a continuous skylight for galleries below and the stairs provide roofing for the museum's extensive bookshop. The image on the right shows the stone-faced inner mass and, in the distance, suggests that Konisgstrasse's success may be due in part to its double-tree-lined Las Ramblas resemblance.
