DSC07877 - L'Hemisfèric, the City of Arts and Science (Valencia/Spain)
L'Hemisfèric (1998) — an IMAX Cinema, planetarium and laserium. The building is meant to resemble a giant eye, and has an approximate surface of 13,000 m².
The Hemesfèric, AKA the planetarium or the eye of knowledge, is the centerpiece of the City of Arts and Sciences. It was the first building completed in 1998. Its design resembles an eyelid that opens to access the surrounding water pool. There is a remarkable echo in the building and if two people stand at the two opposite pillars inside of the eye they can speak with each other.
