The Sick-Building Syndrome
Three years after moving into a new building by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, Stockholm's Modern Museum is closing down due to a mysterious ailment called the "sick-building syndrome."
"Barely three years after moving into new headquarters designed by the Spanish architect Rafael Moneo, Stockholm's modern art museum, the Moderna Museet, is being forced to close next month because of what is known as 'sick-building syndrome,' a series of seemingly unrelated construction defects believed responsible for health problems reported by numerous staff members."
