Introduction

This library is one of the most beautiful in the world. It has a square floor plan with sides measuring 44 meters and a height of 40 meters, with a total area of 11,000 square meters. The night lights on the building's facade are blue, creating a huge and intricate blue Rubik's Cube-like appearance. The library was designed by Korean-German architect YiEun-young, drawing inspiration from the ancient Roman Pantheon. At the center of the building, there is a linear structure known as the "heart," which facilitates multi-level meetings and allows sunlight to penetrate the roof and illuminate the entire interior of the library.
