Dutch design is known for its great imagination and technical innovation, and this structure ? the municipal building of Alphen aan den Rijn, a small city southwest of Amsterdam -- doesn?t disappoint. An example of ?blob architecture,? the town?s city hall is one of the world?s largest transparent "blobs" to date.
Among its most striking elements: an extensive cantilever, large interior spaces, and a sloping roof with enormous spans. The structure?s front is another highlight, featuring a curved façade of etched glass. All that glass requires expert control of light and glare.
