, the intriguing new
Wormhole Library
in Haikou, the capital of the Chinese province of Hainan, recently celebrated its topping-out milestone. The structure sits within the city's Century Park along the Haikou Bay coastline, allowing visitors spectacular views of the sea.
The building is conceived as a multi-functional facility with a 7,430-square-foot reading space, cafe and terrace as well as a 3,230-square-foot public rest area accommodating a bicycle parking system, public bathrooms, and shower areas.
"Holes of varying sizes allow the architecture to breathe, while also letting natural light flood the interior. The grey spaces of the exterior corridors provide shaded spots for passers-by to stop and rest. Within the library, people interact directly with both the sky and sea."
"The building is being cast using both a CNC and 3D-printed model to ensure accuracy and mitigate any margins for error."
The project aims for completion in spring this year. For comparison, take a look at renderings of the building.
