Northern Europe covers Denmark, Finland, Iceland,

David Chipperfield Architects' The Hepworth Wakefiled
United Kingdom project is decribed:
"The Hepworth Wakefield is a purpose-built art
gallery, located in the historic waterfront area south of Wakefield city
center."
"The monolithic appearance and composition is
accentuated by the use of pigmented insitu concrete."
"The program is split horizontally between the
ground floor and the first floor."
"The ground floor contains the reception, shop,
cafeteria, auditorium, and learning studios, as well as offices and
back-of-house areas."
"The main source of daylight in each gallery is a
light slot running the full width of the ceiling at the highest end of each
space."
"The varying angle of each ceiling have been
calculated to admit and diffuse light in the best possible way, complementing
the artificial light system."
