Stockholm concert hall

While on a tour of downtown Stockholm Sweden, there were many buildings on the tour, but my favorite among them was the Stockholm Concert Hall. While many of the buildings were created with nice stone and ornate design, this building provided a nice contrast, with a dull blue color and very little ornamentation. The design was nice, but the most impressive feature was that every year it hosts the Nobel Prize award ceremony. My dream, as someone in the sciences, is to make a contribution worthy of this award, and the building represents what would likely be one of the greatest achievements of my life. What also amazed me about the building, was that when it isn’t hosting award ceremonies, the courtyard in front of the building is filled with vendors in pop-up tents selling fresh flowers and produce. It is nice that a building can be used for such a prestigious event, and still allow everyday people to build a connection to it through visiting or working in the marketplace.
