Stuttgart City Library

Having come across a picture of the city library on Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart on the web, I find that it appeals to my love of straight lines and right angles. A couple of pictures below show what I mean. (A Google image search shows it in numerous many ways.) The drawing at the bottom shows how it has a cube within a cube structure.  However, I wonder how I could possibly work in such a building. I prefer dark, enclosed corners in which to study and write rather than the bright, open spaces provided here.
