We wanted to recreate the character of this space, like a book. When we go to open a book. The plot, the story and the author’s point of view are like a maze. Let people shuttle in and out of it. As an ancient Chinese poem says. The book has its own face, the book has its own house of gold. Inside the book, outside the book, completely two worlds. Let a person understand another world through this book. Another scene. The architects tried to put a lot of pieces into the space. These walls, with arch holes, divide the space of the whole site into many small units, side by side into a sequence of perspectives. Use a mirror at the end of the sequence and reflect it indefinitely. Create that sense of infinite extension. At the same time, these walls also subtly hide and weaken the surrounding offices and the entrance to the bookstore space.
