About Shenzhen Book Mall Edificio de Librería
El Shenzhen Book Mall, sede del Área de la Bahía, es un edificio cultural situado en el centro de un gran parque urbano. La construcción queda semienterrada bajo una zona verde de suave pendiente ascendente, de modo que el parque se conserva y permanece visible una mayor superficie de vegetación. Más del 74 por ciento de la superficie construida se ubica bajo tierra, y unos recorridos abiertos permiten a los visitantes atravesar el parque y desplazarse libremente entre los espacios interiores y exteriores. Entre sus funciones se incluyen una ciudad del libro, un museo folclórico, tiendas y una sala multifuncional. Las cubiertas verdes y los paneles de sombreado reducen el consumo energético.

Materials that match the function.
The west elevation adopts curved materials, which is conducive to enhancing the mechanical properties of the materials, narrowing the curtain wall components and creating a lightweight effect.
The east elevation uses translucent aluminum panels that resemble ocean waves to provide shade for the building. - Design Challenge
- Leaving the building open.
The strategy of opening up the building allows people to walk through the park without interrupting their route.
More than 74% of the building area is underground, and the open design connects the ground and the floor, allowing the experience of walking through the bookstore to be freely switched between indoors and outdoors. The all-weather urban corridor makes the building more than just a bookstore: nature, city and architecture are intertwined here. - Research
- Architecture is city, city is architecture
As a new model of New Generation Book City, the building itself is built as a city, trying to lead people to rethink the relationship between culture and life.
Making culture in the place where the city and nature blend
Shenzhen Book Mall Bay Area Branch is located in the center of the Central Park. In this urban public space with superior natural environment. we integrate culture into it. - Inspiration
- Generating architecture from urban relations.
Located between the subway station and many public buildings, the bookstore integrates the public access and the internal functional flow, which is a building penetrated by the city, blurring the boundary between the building and the city.
The circular volume rising from the center of the sloping park and the rectangular volume of the public building across the street form the composition of the "circle of heaven and earth" in Chinese culture. - Project Duration
- The project started in 2018 in Shenzhen and finished in 2025.
- Operation Flow
- Immersive cultural experience in Qushuiliushang
The paths are connected in the form of Qushuiliushang, and the staircases and ramps are like mountains of books and ribbons of jade, forming a multifaceted and interesting public space.
The functions of the building include book city, folk museum, commercial, multi-functional hall and creative culture, etc. The building becomes a part of the city as a collection of various functions. - Image Credits
