Tianjin Binhai Library has finally opened its doors to the public and has started to post some great pictures of its interiors on the social media. The magnificent library was the result of collaboration between MVRDV along with Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute.
The Library resides at the new Binhai Cultural District in Tianjin, China. The maximum capacity of the books it can hold is about 1.2 million. The books are placed on massive undulating bookshelves that are located in the library?s central atrium.
At the center of the library, a huge silvery ball comprises the auditorium and mirrors the super-long bookshelves surrounding it, contributing to the wonderful ambiance of the building. The library building has an area of 34,000 square meters and it is one of the several parts of the New Binhai Cultural Center. In addition to being an educational venue, it is a key link between the cultural center and the park. The masterplan was created by the German GMP Architekten. A group of ?cultural corridors? join the four buildings which the site encompasses.
