Production Technology: In the literature area,bookshelves walls are inspired by the magnificent Dujiangyan dam spreads upwards all the way. Wallpaper with book patterns are used to decorate top of the bookshelves, combined with the reflection from the mirror ceiling, it visually expands spatial ductility and create an open and high feeling. Book tables are designed in the shapes of boats, with the effect of black tiles flooring, it look like they are quietly mooning on the lake, floating between the bookshelf wall. The bookstore is able to display over 80 thousand books covering 20 thousand kinds.
Design Challenge: The difficulty of the project for our team involves how to translate the local landscape elements of Dujiangyan into bookstore through design language that can create an amazing customer experience, and at the same time guarantees the practical functionality that the bookstore requires.
Research: The design is heavily inspired by the local famous landscape. Therefore, we decided to move the spirit of local mountains and rivers into the indoor space. We not only aim to present visitors with an abstract and artistic landscape, but also hope visitors can be touched by the spiritual expression once they walk into the space.
Inspiration: The beautiful city the project located in is called Dujiangyan. The city is famous for its unique culture and landscape due to its long history of water conservancy project. Therefore, we hope to integrate the historical elements of the city into the design to create a dialogue between culture and wisdom.
Project Duration: The project finished in September, 2020 in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, China
Operation Flow: Visitors will be first greeted with gray tile inspired bookshelves, they not only build intimacy but also divide the forum area. Moving forward, visitors will reach the reading space where bookshelves extend from the space to the adjacent columns, catching the curiosity of readers and guide their route. In the literature area where it seems like the beautiful scenery of Dujiangyan dam is vividly presented in the space. Walking upstairs, the bookshelves beside the stairs offers a variety of books at accessible distance, visitors could grab a book and have a read on the second floor where various seats are provided.
