The abstract building cladded in six different types of glass stands like a bowl at the core of medical university Karolinska Institutet in Sweden. The auditorium seats 1000 persons. As Karolinska Institutet selects the Nobel Prize laureates in medicine or physiology, there has been a demand for a large venue for their lectures. The façade of glass on a glulam structure is wrapped around the building that leans heavily over the highway, announcing the presence of research and education in the cities of Stockholm and Solna.
