Stuttgart Library (Stadtbibliothek) interior. Decided to do this one square as it's know in the area as "The Cube". The library is actually a lot bigger than this photo would suggest as represented here is only the 4th through the 8th floors of the building.
The Berlin Cube is a standalone office bloc in Washingtonplatz near Berlin Central Station and alongside the River Spree.
Clad entirely in glass the Berlin Cube measures 42.5 metres in all directions and the facade is covered in a triangulated relief pattern.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Overblaak, Kubuswoningen, Blaakse Bos (slightly cut)
The `Kubuswoningen` (Cube houses) aka the `Blaakse Bos` (Blaak forrest) have the phycical appearance of a set of cubes, flipped to one of their vertexes and placed on variable height pillars. It was designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999) who followed his structuralist agenda here, trying to create an integrated urban living space (`Living in an urban roof`' it was called) that both stimulates/facilitates the communal spirit of the dwellers of this urban forest and create a strong rhythmic architectural pattern in the process. In `A structuralist's embrace` here there’s more about Dutch structuralism.
The 7Artisans fisheye was utilized again here. The lens‘ album is here.
For an architecture shot like this, minimalist music is called for, but in this case let’s settle for the basic drumwork of the Cure’s Lol Tolhurst in A forest.
Cubes houses reflected
Reflecties van de kubuswoningen
I have checked with a search for the yellow cube houses on Flickr, and have come to the conclusion that this is a special one.
So many pictures of the yellow cube houses, and no reflections in the first pages. Time to make a change and look down to look up.
The weather was completely windstill , not a ripple on the water , no soothing breeze in my face. Later in the morning the wind was coming up a little bit, but not at this moment.
I know the location Oude Haven in Rotterdam well, so I know exactly where to take a picture to see the reflections of the cube houses. So i do admit I have an bit of an advantage here.
Cube houses (Dutch: kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam. Their architect Piet Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. The houses are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak metro station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
Rubiks Cubes. Little miniature ones, each 1" across.
For Macro Mondays. This week's theme: puzzle. A bit of nostalgia here, who doesn't remember the cube craze.
Happy Macro Monday/ HMM

Interlocked chain links create a loose cube, using the same method as creates chainmail. It's very tactile and looks quite something against the wet background.

personal story behind this cube:
already last century I helped building Open Learning into professional development training.
During my hospitation in the metal workshop, I learnt to drill holes into this cube - which at the time still had a shiny silver finish.
Now more than the cube is rusted...
*as coordinator I was building cooperation between dlfferent professional groups such as teachers, master craftsmen and social workers.
