About Shenzhen Zhongshuge Libraría

Inspirado polo rápido desenvolvemento e os logros da localización do proxecto, Shenzhen Zhongshuge créase para render homenaxe aos innumerables pioneiros desta cidade de inmigrantes. A estantería en espiral utilízase como símbolo para mostrar o rápido desenvolvemento da historia e espertar ao mesmo tempo a reflexión dos visitantes. O enfoque de deseño non convencional para fusionar comercio e arte rompe as cadeas dos atributos monótonos dun espazo vinculado á función, transmite os valores da marca, achega un xene de lugar novo e innovador á experiencia de compra dos consumidores.

Production Technology: In this artistic space, a massive spiral staircase shaped bookshelf is lying on the ground, running in a curved trajectory through the entire concept area of the bookstore. When gazing from its front, a clock dial shaped cut out can be seen.Clock hand formed handrails conveying the sense that history is being pushed through time at a rapid pace. It serves as a functional bookshelf and a huge artistic installation, neutralizing a strong commercial connotation and enhancing the charm of the place.
Design Challenge: One of the challenges we face is the realization of the spiral staircase installation. Due to its complicated shape, the junctions between the installation and the space elevations and floor all have different sizes and angles. Therefore, during the design and modeling of the installation, careful calculation and adjustment are made to make sure that the perfect result can be achieved and the construction of the installation can go smoothly.
Research: The design of Shenzhen Zhongshuge is highly inspired by the cultural and history background of the city Shenzhen. During the past 40 years as a Special Economic Zone, the city has made great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. These achievements and history are the result of the sweat and hard work of countless pioneers and dreamers. The design of Shenzhen Zhongshuge hopes to pay tribute to the creators of history on this land and to become a symbol of Shenzhen itself.
Inspiration: The design is heavily inspired by the well known immigration history of the city, people came to the city to chase their dreams, and as time goes by, they became the creators of history on this land. The large public artworks by Anish Kapoor also inspired the designer to integrate art with commerce, and using artistic installations as the carrier for the concept of the space.
Project Duration: The project finished in November, 2021 in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China
Operation Flow: In the concept area, large glass facades dissolve the boundary and enhancing the expansiveness of the space. Allowing the artistic space to been appreciated from the outside and attracts attention of pedestrians. The continuous flowing contours of the display table are like water, outlining the curving lines of the interior traffic flow where customers can have a read of the popular books that are on display. Walking into the forum area, the symbolism of the ladder of wisdom is integrated with the bookshelves into a towering ladder, creating a sacred temple of knowledge. Providing readers a private and immersive reading experience.
