The Eye of Knowledge
One of amazing architecture designs by Santiago Calatrava together with Félix Candela: Hemispheric Planetarium in Valencia (Spain). With the building’s reflection on the surrounding water pool, the building, and its reflection becomes an eye. The bottom of the basin is covered by a mirror to give the illusion. The planetarium itself is the center of the City of Arts and Sciences and called as the eye of knowledge. The whole concept blew my mind, after all, shouldn’t we have our eyes open to the knowledge and our surroundings?

Many thanks Yvette! The building is quite special indeed, very smart design!
and your picture of it could be a postcard or wall hanging – and did I see a night scuba diver in that dark water? Nah, just my mind’s eye playing tricks on me – lol
😀 😀 actually I was thinking to swim on the pool during the day – it was hot back – should bring my scuba gear 😉 Thank you so much Yvette, I am thinking to print it for my wall as well – great that you convinced me to do so!
Beautiful! Nicely done.
Thank you so much 🙂
