This image presents the National and University Library (BNU) building in Strasbourg, France, under a cloudy sky with intermittent bright patches. The modern, linear, multi-story structure exhibits extensive charring and discoloration on its facade and windows, indicative of fire damage. The upper levels feature dark, reflective window panes and light-colored cladding, while the ground level includes a recessed area with visible structural supports. A dark asphalt pathway extends from the foreground directly towards the building's central entrance, flanked by small, dark, spherical bollards. A vibrant green lawn, lightly scattered with brown fallen leaves, covers the foreground and surrounds the building. Deciduous trees, mostly bare, are visible on the left and right perimeters. No individuals or active scenes are depicted.
