This Library is an architectural miracle by MVRDV

If you think that libraries are boring, thing again. MVRDV, founded by Winy Maas, Jacob van Rijs and Nathalie de Vries in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, created Tianjin Binhai Library in China that you would like to visit and stay in there for hours reading books or even as a sightseeing. 

This cultural center of 33,700m2 was created by MVRDV in collaboration with local architects TUPDI. The design is a luminous spherical auditorium around which floor-to-ceiling bookcases cascade. The undulating bookshelf is the building’s main spatial device and is used both to frame the space and to create stairs, seating, the layered ceiling and even louvres on the façade.
