DETAILS PROJECT
The internationally-acclaimed extension to the German National Library in Leipzig features a series of bespoke façade solutions from Wicona. Designed by Gabriele Glöckler and realised by the Glöckler team and ZSP Architekten, this stunning building has a glistening and sleek envelope that makes a strong visual impression. This is the library’s fourth extension and an important aim of the project was to unify the three earlier and very different architectural styles – from the historic 1912 neo-classical façade to the 1970s windowless tower complex.
