SAEDNEWS: Tianjin Binhai Library in China, with its breathtaking, futuristic architecture—famously known as the “Eye of Binhai”—completely stunned an American tourist. Its floor-to-ceiling spiral bookshelves and surreal interior transform this space into a modern wonder. Watch the video and see for yourself!
According to Saed News Science Service, a recently viral video captures an American tourist’s astonishment at visiting China’s architectural marvel, the Tianjin Binhai Library. Known as the “Eye of Binhai” for the glowing orb at its center, this building transports visitors beyond a simple reading space, evoking a surreal and magical atmosphere.
With floor-to-ceiling terraced bookshelves and a sweeping curved design that creates an illusion of depth, the Tianjin Binhai Library has become a modern wonder. The unique design, by Dutch architecture firm MVRDV, led the American visitor to liken it to settings from sci-fi films or fantasy novels like Harry Potter.
Completed in a record-breaking three years and opened in 2017, the project demonstrates how China has pushed the boundaries of modern architecture by blending art and engineering. The library is not only a paradise for 1.2 million books but also a global tourist attraction for architecture and photography enthusiasts, redefining the traditional library experience.
