Named as one of the “most anticipated architecture projects of 2021” by The Times of London, the Wormhole Library was opened in April. Designed by renowned Chinese architect Ma Yansong, it is a wormhole-shaped structure whose layers and complexity make it a unique cultural site that captures the wild imagination of readers. The whole library has a capacity of more than ten thousand volumes. The first floor is a reading space that faces the sea, which also functions as a site for hosting cultural exchange activities. The children’s reading area is separated from the main reading space, inside which skylights and holes not only allow in the natural light but also create a broader view of the sea, inspiring children to explore more about reading and the nature.
