About Zhongshuge Librari

Zhongshuge është një librari në Dujiangyan, Sichuan, Kinë, me një sipërfaqe prej 973 metrash katrorë. Dizajni frymëzohet nga peizazhi vendas dhe nga historia e gjatë e menaxhimit të ujërave në qytet. Në zonën e letërsisë, muret e larta me rafte librash kujtojnë formën e digës së Dujiangyan-it. Letra e murit me motive librash dhe tavani me pasqyra e zgjerojnë vizualisht hapësirën. Tavolinat e librave kanë formën e varkave dhe duken sikur lundrojnë mbi dyshemenë me pllaka të zeza. Libraria mund të ekspozojë më shumë se 80 mijë libra të 20 mijë llojeve.

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.

Operation Flow: Visitors will be first greeted with gray tile inspired bookshelves, they not only build intimacy but also divide the forum area.
