About Bishan Knjižara

Bishan je knjižara smještena unutar nekadašnje obiteljske dvorane predaka u selu Bishan, okrug Yi, provincija Anhui. Dvorana, svetište obitelji Wang, izgrađena je prije više od 230 godina tijekom dinastije Qing. Projekt obuhvaća 420 četvornih metara i prilagođava zaštićenu povijesnu građevinu suvremenoj kulturnoj namjeni. Prirodni materijali poput drva, bambusa i kamena oblikuju interijer, dok je zid s policama za knjige završen bijelom nabijenom zemljom. Cementna ploča podupire zid s policama i ograničava oštećenja uzrokovana vlagom iz tla. Oblik zida s policama za knjige podsjeća na oslikane paravane i uokviruje središnji prostor za čitanje.

Press Kit

Unique Properties
The Bishan Bookstore needs to have a clear business strategy and plan, which all need to be adapted to the changing consumption and needs of the times and to think with the times. If the market-oriented development of the space is hampered by over-protection, Bishan bookstore will become an exhibit for ornamental purposes only, and its value as a cultural container will be lost.
Dimensions & Packaging
This project covers an area of 420 square meters.

Production Technology
In addition to the patio, which faces nature, the interior also speaks the language of nature. Natural materials such as wood, bamboo, and stone are used to structure the interior itself. These materials not only have a natural beauty but also resonate with the environment. However, the bookcase wall uses a new material, white rammed earth material, which is used for the exterior wall material of the building.
Design Challenge
When Librairie Avant Garde listed the realistic problems to us one by one, we felt that the difficulty of this project was not just to solve these operational challenges,but how a heritage-protected building could find a balance between history and modernity, preserving the original characteristics of this family shrine while enabling it to adapt to the needs of modern society.
Research
In this small village, there is a Wang family shrine Qitai Hall, built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, more than 230 years ago. And this small ancestral hall, which has experienced countless hours of history, was injected with new blood in 2014 Librairie Avant Garde the eighth branch of Nanjing Librairie Avant Garde and the first bookstore in the countryside.
Inspiration
There is a Wang family shrine Qitai Hall, built in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, more than 230 years ago. Librairie Avant Garde has been committed to rooting into the countryside, not for commercial needs, but for the dissemination of culture, so that those areas where it is most difficult to be able to read books have a cultural utopia gathered for the love of reading and books.
Project Duration
Project Address: Bishan Village, Yi County,Anhui
Completion date: December 2024
Operation Flow
First of all, the transformation of the bookcase is the core of the whole design, in order to reduce the damage to the bookcase caused by the humidity on the ground, the cement board is used to build the bookcase wall, and the bookcase is partially embedded. The form of the whole bookcase wall is inspired by the screen in Chinese painting, and the center area wrapped by three screens is the area for the daily activities of the literati. The screened bookcase recedes backward, drawing the viewer's eye toward the center of the picture.
