L'Hemisferic: An Eye-CatchingArchitectural Masterpiece In Valencia

建筑物天文馆: 瓦伦西亚抢眼的建筑杰作

Built in the shape of the human eye, L'Hemisferic is one of the structures within the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, L'Hemisferic houses an IMAX theatre, a Planetarium and a Laserium. The "pupil" is the hemispherical dome of the IMAX theatre and the "eyelid" can open and close by using hydraulic lifts to operate the steel and glass shutter. This impressive architectural masterpiece is situated at the end of the dried up riverbed Turia. Calatrava wanted to bring water back to the area by creating a reflecting pool which also serves as a stunning artistic display at night when the lighting creates an image of a whole eye.

人眼形状的建筑物天文馆是西班牙巴伦西亚市“城市艺术与科教中心”的一栋建筑。该建筑物天文馆由建筑师圣地亚哥·卡拉特拉瓦设计完成，设有一个IMAX影院、一座天文馆和一个激光天象仪。“瞳孔”为影院的半圆屋顶，而通过液压升降机操作钢和玻璃遮门可以使“眼睑”打开或闭合。这个令人印象深刻的建筑杰作位于图里亚河干涸的旧河床的尽头。卡拉特拉瓦希望通过建造倒影池可以将水引回这个区域。夜晚时分，当灯光形成一个完整的大眼睛影像时，这个倒影池所起到的艺术效果使其魅力无限。
