the closed eye

Santiago Calatrava conceived the Hemisfèric in the Ciutat de les Arts i les Sciències in València as an oversized human eye - the eye of wisdom. The 100 meter long, oval roof houses a 3D IMAX cinema hall (the pupil), mainly showing scientific and technological topics.

The “lid” of the eye can be opened hydraulically, but at the time of my visit it was always closed.
