About Pingjiang Wonder Bookstore Магозаи китобфурӯшӣ

Магозаи китобфурӯшии Pingjiang Wonder дар Сучжоу, Чин ҷойгир буда, масоҳати умумии сохташудаи он 1800 метри мураббаъ мебошад. Бино дар шакли булӯри нозукона буридашуда сохта шуда, ба ду қисм ба таври уфуқӣ тақсим гардидааст. Қисми болоӣ қирраовар буда, фасадҳои буридашуда бо кунҷи амудии 4 то 6 дараҷа ба сӯи осмон майл дода шудаанд. Қисми поёнии шаффоф ба андозаи инсонӣ гузошта шудааст, то ба кӯчаҳои атроф беҳтар ҳамгиро шавад. Панелҳои шишагии баландинъикоскунандаи 5 ба 1,8 метр девори пардагии берунии чорчӯбадорро ташкил медиҳанд.

Unique Properties
As the first building amid the city complex turned from old town to the city gateway, we shaped it as a delicately-cut crystal. Dividing the building horizontally into 2 parts, we faceted the upper part and battered the sliced facades by a vertical angle of 4-6 degrees towards the sky as a pioneer, while we fit the transparent lower part into the human scale for better integration into the culturally unique streets. Thus, both parts can naturally merge into the different development stages.

Production Technology
The high-reflective glass panels with a dimension of 5m x 1.8m were adopted to compose the external framed curtain wall.
Design Challenge
Challenges arose during the construction of specially designed facade curtain wall, for instance, the stress problem of the apexes that increases the fragility of the glass, and the flattening of glass panels sized 5m x 1.8m, which is larger than normal size. After systematic research and close collaboration, the unique diamond-like exterior took shape eventually.
Research
According to the law of THE NEGATION OF NEGATION in Science of Logic by Hegel, the result of self-sublation is never nothing but is characterized by new contents and forms. Such dialectic speculation forms the basic design logic for the building. To hide it into 500,000 square meter city complex, or to highlight its independent characteristics within the tiny 1800 square meters? An icy cluster of metal or a soothing piece of jade? Rounds of negations led us to the design eventually.
Inspiration
Rounds of explorations were made to define the facade of the new town pioneer bookstore. The Rose Cut, one of the diamond faceting method in the Renaissance, inspired the combinations of inlaid triangles. The apexes of each triangle glass are tilted in with a specific angle, forming the slight ups and downs on the exterior and reflecting the daily and seasonal variations of the sunlight.
Project Duration
The bookstore located in 777 Liansheng Rd, Gusu Dist., Suzhou, China, which started and completed in 2018.
Operation Flow
As the very first building in the titanic city complex, it is expected to stand out as a trendy experience center in the mess and pioneer in the new town. After the maturation of the entire city complex project, we hope it can remain culturally unique and serve the local community, merging into their daily life.
