This structure is called the Leonardo Glass Cube, and is located in Germany, near Bad Driburg.

Built by 3deluxe studio, the pavilion’s concrete pathways are a study of lines and curve, contrasted by the rigid angles of this architectural masterpiece. This structure is so artfully made that it can almost be mistaken for a sculpture.

As the pathways fold into the building’s facade, they wrap around the glass and up to the roof in a delicate embrace. Further inside the 2D concrete elements transform into 3D structures, completing the interior.

The pavilion is just unbelievably beautiful. But then again maybe its a sculpture - a beautiful work of art!
