Adornodenkmal, Glass cube memorial at Westend Campus, Frankfurt, Germany.

A transparent cube measuring 2.5 meters houses a desk, chair, and personal objects representing philosopher Theodor W. Adorno's workspace.

The monument was erected in 2003 to commemorate the 100th birthday of Theodor W. Adorno, a German philosopher and music theorist.

Black and white marble slabs surrounding the monument display engraved quotes from Adorno's influential work 'Minima Moralia' and 'Aesthetic Theory'.

The glass structure contains an underground maintenance tunnel that houses technical equipment for controlling the desk lamp and metronome inside.

A continuously ticking metronome placed diagonally on a book represents Adorno's work in musical composition and theory.
