Description
Shenzhen Library is located in the administrative and cultural center of Shenzhen, in front of the beautiful Lianhua Mountain. It is open to the public to meet the needs of readers. Its architectural shape is also quite exquisite. It was designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. The three black radioactive buildings on the south side of the library are shaped like three open books, while the soft and changing water curtain and three-dimensional glass on the east side. The curved surface is like a harp with euphemism and rhythm. From a bird's-eye view of Lianhua Mountain, it shines in the sunlight. It can be described as a combination of rigidity and softness. The twin buildings formed by Shenzhen Library and Shenzhen Concert Hall, one glowing with silver light and the other shining with golden light, are quite eye-catching under the night.
