About Shenzhen Zhongshuge 서점

프로젝트 대상지의 급속한 발전과 성취에서 영감을 얻은 선전 중수거(Shenzhen Zhongshuge)는 이 이민 도시를 개척한 수많은 선구자들에게 경의를 표하기 위해 탄생했다. 나선형 책장은 역사의 급속한 발전을 보여주는 상징으로 활용되어 동시에 방문객의 사유를 이끌어낸다. 상업과 예술을 융합한 관습에 얽매이지 않는 디자인 접근법은 기능에 종속된 공간의 단조로운 속성이라는 족쇄를 벗어던지고, 브랜드의 가치를 전달하며, 소비자의 쇼핑 경험에 새롭고 참신한 장소적 유전자를 부여한다.

Unique Properties: The large window design allows for an unobstructed view of the exquisite interior, bringing a feast for the senses and mapping out a deep impression of the brand. The giant spiral staircase shaped bookshelf is transformed into an art installation, which not only carries the function but also carries the spirituality of the space. The design fuses commerce with art and breaks the shackles of the monotonous attributes of a space bound to function, bringing a new and novel place gene to consumers' shopping experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: The floor area of the project is 1300 sqm.

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.
