The bookstore's design takes the idea of "a book falling from the sky" as the starting point of the story, and the architectural form is taken from book. Through this metaphor, we hope people can truly walk into this building to read themselves, and to complete a journey of self-discovery in a peaceful environment. The project is located at the east side of Xinglong Lake Bay Area, with a rectangle of 12m X 39m as the plane foundation, the lowest point of the roof is 3 meters in height, one corner of the building is elevated to 16 meters, and the other corner 7.5 meters, forming a roof with spiritual symbolization.
