FLORES ISLAND

Flores, from Portuguese which means "flower" is an island located in the administrative area of ​​East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The name Flores comes from the Portuguese "cabo de flores" which means "Cape of flowers". The name was originally given by S.M. Cabot to refer to the eastern region of the island of Flores. Finally in use officially since 1636 by the governor general of the Dutch East Indies Hendrik Brouwer. A fairly in-depth study by Orinbao (1969) revealed that the real name of the island of Flores was Nusa Nipa (snake island) which from an anthropological point of view, this term is more useful because it contains various philosophical, cultural and ritual meanings of the Flores community. #triplocal #themeparks#nationalpark#lakes#beaches#infinitypool

the Tianjin Binhai Library, a 33,700m2 cultural centre featuring a luminous spherical auditorium around which floor-to-ceiling bookcases cascade. The undulating bookshelf is the building’s main spatial device, and is used both to frame the space and to create stairs, seating, the layered ceiling and even louvres on the façade. Tianjin Binhai Library was designed and built in a record-breaking time of only three years due to a tight schedule imposed by the local municipality. Next to many media rooms it offers space for 1,2 million books. The library was commissioned by Tianjin Binhai Municipality and is located in the cultural centre of Binhai district in Tianjin, a coastal metropolis outside Beijing, China.
