The project is adjacent to the Central Axis Park in Bao'An District, and we are integrating culture into this urban public space with a superior natural environment.

Leave the building open. The building is the city.

By utilizing the design strategy of "leaving the building open", one's walk through the park is not interrupted by the building.

Distinguished from operation-oriented complexes, we have given more thought to the relationship between architecture and the city and nature. Here, the building is the city, and the city is packed into nature.

Over 74% of the project is underground, and the open-air design allows cultural activities not to be confined to the enclosed building space, so that the experience of browsing the book city can be freely switched between indoor and outdoor. These all-weather urban corridors also make the building more than just a book city: nature, city and architecture are interwoven into a beautiful symphony.

Immersive cultural experience in the Qu Shui Liu Shang

The interior space draws on the form of " Qu Shui Liu Shang " to link up the paths, and the richly-formed staircases and ramps can be regarded as "mountains of books" and "ribbons of jade," forming a diverse and interesting public space.

Building roofs are "urban green carpets."

The green roof of the building is like a piece of "lifted green carpet", preserving the green space of the Central Axis Park in the best possible way. The integrated design of above-ground landscape and underground building regulates the micro-climate of the site and reduces the energy consumption of the building.

Architecture is the city and the city is the architecture

While enjoying a wide range of city life, people can also feel the green comfort of birds and flowers, which is more memorable than a single book city and park.

Shenzhen Book Mall Bay Area Branch, as a "new generation of book city" under the new model, will be the building itself as the city to create, trying to guide people to rethink the relationship between culture and life.
