The Secret of the NANO
Two open cubes with large LED lights dancing in a pond in front of the new Van Leeuwenhoek laboratory (VLL) in Delft.
With the long horizontal contours of the building as a backdrop, the cubes lean on each other, holding a perfect balance.
Intertwined, just as the TU Delft and TNO are also connected by the joint use of this amazing new building.

a roguish little cube floats In the water. Also equipped with lights, this little diamond is in clear visual relationship to the bigger cubes:
this is the nano, the surprise, the mystery, produced by TU Delft and TNO, product of a scientific quest.
