ETIENNE BOULLÉE: Cenotaph for Newton

https://mythstalesandlies.wordpress.com/2012/10/31/the-temple-of-death-cenotaph-for-isaac-newton/

YI ARCHITECTS: Stuttgart City Library, Stuttgart / Germany

“The form and symmetry of entrance of the building was inspired by the ?Cenotaph for Newton” by Etienne Boullée, but the heart and core of the library follows the design of the ancient pantheon. Protected by a secondary facade, the cube-shaped room is situated in the middle of the building and is illuminated by a central roof light. In the center is a 1 sqm fountain that ties the space as a meditative area.”
