The architect Helmut Jahn says that by putting the book storage below, they were free to create an open and luminous space. Philological Library, Berlin The Philological Library on the campus of the Free University of Berlin has been applauded for its eco-intelligent structure.

And guess what? Not all books are real. The inaccessible shelves have been filled with aluminum plates digitally printed with book images.
