The bookstore's design takes the idea of "a book falling from the sky" as the story, and the architectural form is taken from this book. Through this metaphor, we hope people can walk into this building to read themselves, and to complete a journey of self-discovery in a peaceful environment. The building is linearly expanded according to the site conditions, allowing itself to be connected to the open lake, making a positive interaction with nature. The bookstore design reflects a unique urban temperament and lifestyle, and shows the greatest respect to the natural environment.
