Central foyer in the Royal Library, the Black Diamond or Den Sorte Diamant, in Copenhagen. Interior and view of Copenhagen Harbour through facade.


The Royal Library and culture centre in the Black Diamond in Copenhagen. Interior and view of Copenhagen Harbour though the huge glass facade, reflective from the outside. Farthest away the new Circle Bridge designed by Olafur Eliasson over the Christianshavn Canal. The Black Diamond from 1999 at the waterfront in Copenhagen, Denmark. The building is housing the Royal Library and is a culture centre. Designed by the architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen. The shifting light during the day and night and shifting activity in the harbour create exciting effects and reflections in the black and glassy building.
