Tianjin Binhai Library

Tianjin Binhai Library is nicknamed The Eye of Binhai,
because there is a luminous (发光的) sphere that
serves as an auditorium (礼堂、会堂) in the center
of the library, which appears like an iris (虹膜) and
can be seen from the park outside through an eye-
shaped opening.

It features floor-to-ceiling, terraced (台阶的)

bookshelves able to hold 1.2 million books.
However, the rooms providing access to the upper
tiers of shelving were not built and book spines
were printed onto the backs of the shelf space.
