设计师描述 | Designer description： Featuring the time-honored rice-growing farmland, the Tanjiawan in Wuzhen is regarded as one of the Majiabang cultural sites in the early Neolithic Age in the Taihu Basin on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. With the emergence of Internet, people's lives have been inundated with multifarious media messages, thus many cultural heritages have be passed into silence gradually. Modern media, as a new technology for cultural inheritance, seems unable to make up for some spiritual demands of people due to the loss of nature in cultural continuity. The hustle and bustle of the city and the increasingly-severe ecological environment trigger people’s impulsion of returning to the primitive life.

When we are In the countryside, standing in front of the rice fields, it is like a fantastic shock to the future life from the primitive cultural heritage. We can not perceive the length of time, while the rice culture is in the decline stage. It is our hope that the finished building, just like the vessel of time, relates the site with the human beings, with demonstrating the time span and the immemorial memories.

Design vision
The aspiration of our design actually comes from an image of site. The golden rice fields, stretching as far as the eyes can see, seem to retain a sense of well-being of all primitives. We hope that the bookstore will stand out from the surrounding modern high-rises. With the primitive hint, it will be a milestone stretching back through millennial history, connecting the past with the present.

Therefore, in the process of determining the form of the bookstore, we have made a intensive consideration. Finally, we decided the form of reverse sloping roof. As a public building of rural culture, the sloping roof is like a symbol of rural settlement. In a large and relatively-free paddy field without strict restrictions, we planned to shape the presence of the building itself. The architecture, with its own signature, will finally rise abruptly from the ground with a strong appeal just like the indicator, and finally present its theme.
