]]> Longitude: -102.57191645045556]]> The Tianjin Binhai Library stands as a contemporary public structure situated within the Binhai district of Tianjin, China. The Dutch architectural firm MVRDV collaborated with the Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute to create this building, which finished its construction in 2017. The building design features a rectangular floor plan that extends to five stories, while its main attraction is the "Eye" auditorium that glows from within. The building's glass exterior lets natural light enter the main hall while showing off the curved design of its interior. The interior design features continuous white shelves that create wave-like walls, which function as both stairs and seating areas while surrounding the central sphere. The open design of the space enables visitors to move freely between reading and meeting areas, which lack defined separation points. The building structure incorporates reinforced concrete and steel, and glass materials to achieve its smooth white surfaces, which generate a clean and bright environment. The glass walls and skylights allow natural light to enter, which produces gentle shadows that emphasize the curved lines of the interior design. The building achieves a harmonious fusion of futuristic design with peaceful ambiance through its combination of architectural elements and sculptural features. The design transforms traditional library spaces into interactive spaces that combine visual and social elements. The "Eye" serves as a symbol that represents both vision and knowledge, and discovery. The flowing shelves in the design represent the natural flow of knowledge and information. The building design promotes exploration instead of silence because learning in today's world requires active participation and shared knowledge. The building demonstrates China's dedication to cultural development and educational progress, and technological advancement. The Tianjin Binhai Library has achieved status as a worldwide symbol of contemporary architectural design. The building's striking design draws numerous visitors and photographers who demonstrate how public architecture can generate public interest and national pride. The building sparks debate about library design priorities between visual appeal and operational needs, while demonstrating that architectural design needs to unite aesthetic value with practicality and meaningful purpose.]]> The Tianjin Binhai Library serves as a modern Chinese urban architectural symbol that unites cultural progress with advanced architectural concepts.(Mursal)]]> The Binhai Cultural Center master plan included the three-year construction of this library design. The central "Eye" serves dual purposes as a design centerpiece and community area, which reflects MVRDV's vision of libraries as active public spaces instead of traditional silent repositories.(Mursal)]]> https://i0.wp.com/archeyes.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/MVRDV-Tianjin-Library-8-©-Ossip-van-Duivenbode.jpg?ssl=1]]> Longitude: 117.7170° E]]> The Tilla-Kari Madrasa stands as a seventeenth-century educational complex situated on Samarkand's Registan square which features a central courtyard surrounded by vaulted arcades and an iwan that accesses a mosque with its interior surfaces adorned with luxurious gold decorations. The building exterior displays Central Asian decorative elements through its blue tile patterns and geometric and floral designs. The interior mosque area features gold leaf decorations which create a light-reflecting effect on the muqarnas and decorative paintings. The courtyard provides access to the domed sanctuary through which visitors experience a transition between educational areas and sacred areas. The construction of Tilla-Kari as part of a grand architectural complex demonstrates how Islamic education maintained its high status during the Bukharan era while enhancing the ceremonial value of the Registan area.]]> Architects unknown (Bukharan court workshops)
