Det danske arkitektkontoret BIG vant nylig en internasjonal konkurranse om Kazakhstans nye nasjonalbibliotek. Bygninger er såpass sepsiell at den fortjener oppmerksomhet. Til grunn for utformingen ligger et "Möbius-bånd", en kombinasjon av sirkel og spiral, som gir bygningen en særegen utforming.
I utgangspunktet ser dette svært komplisert ut, men gir samtidig en spennende dynamikk mellom horisontal og vertikal romfordeling.
Det "evige" båndet har også en symbolsk betydning: "The clarity of the circle, the courtyard of the rotunda, the gateway of the arch and the soft silhouette of the yurt are combined to create a new national monument appearing local and universal, contemporary and timeless, unique and archetypal at the same time” (Bjarke Ingels).

SvarSlettI guess architecture often serves different purposes. Sometimes being a useable structure, sometimes a symbol, and quite often something in between.
