A futuristic library which has just opened in China is something of a bookworm’s dream. The library was built in Tianjin, a coastal metropolis located around 100km outside of the Chinese capital of Beijing. Dutch architects MVRDV, in collaboration with local designers TUPDI, created the library to resemble a giant eye. The five-storey building features a floor-to-ceiling bookcases cascade, which acts as “everything from stairs to seating”. “The Tianjin Binhai Library interior is almost cave-like, a continuous bookshelf,” says Winy Maas, co-founder of MVRDV.
