Utrecht University Library Wiel Arets Architects
The Utrecht University Library, established in 1636, is located on the Uithof campus, situated a short distance from the city center. It is comprised of the library itself and an adjacent parking garage with multiple voids–between which is a courtyard garden and a café named for Johannes Gutenberg–and the fenestration of both is fritted with an abstracted image of fossilized papyrus. The relief of this image is imprinted on concrete panels, which are equal in size to the fritted glass panels; together they compose the building’s façade, and the concrete panels return within the interior.

Buddha’s Footprints Zhang Wang
As early as 1999, Zhang Wang began his photographic creation in Chinese Buddhist culture. In secluded Buddhist temples, Zhang Wang spent long time with the monks, sharing his life with them. He often got up in wee hours in the day to shoot the monastic life, or risked precarious mountains to capture Buddhist relics. He would also stay up late to peruse Buddhist texts. The fifteen years of persistent photographic creation has put him through untold hardships and difficulties but also earned him close to a hundred important honors from China and rest of the world. In May 2013, Zhang Wang’s “Buddha’s Footprints” solo exhibition was selected to be part of UNESCO’s “World Culture Convention” exhibition.
He tried warning us!
