And a good bookstore, to some extent, is also the "street corner library" of the public, and it can also be the promised land of people's spiritual life.

The word "Zhong" first came into my sight in Shanghai in July. I went to a place in Thames Town and walked into the clock by mistake. At that time, because of time, I had to pass by in a hurry, as shown below:

The red brick wall and pointed roof are located in Shuge, a small English town on the Thames, far away from the noise of the urban area and quietly integrated with the surrounding European buildings.

Later, I saw in the public comments that Zhong was praised as the most beautiful bookstore in Shanghai. I've always wondered where it's beautiful. Before I came to China, I always thought that the design of Aegean Sea "Space of Light" bookstore was unique.

Let's take a look at the picture I took of the bookstore "Space of Light":

However, the "clock" here is even more amazing in terms of modeling and space design. The large-area glass mirror on the top of the wall makes the whole space stretch and transparent, which brings a strong visual impact, which is different from the aesthetic feeling of bookstores in the past. People can't help feeling "the world of flowers in books, flowers in kaleidoscopes". Here are some photos of clocks I took casually:

Just today, my best friend went to Zhong in Suzhou and sent me pictures and videos:

Life is sometimes a flashback, and the highest state is not worldly wisdom but sincere childlike innocence. Children can browse books here, communicate freely, or look at the world outside the window and daydream.

Then, another question appeared in my mind. Who is the designer?

Li Xiang? | ? After 85 |? Le Signe du Lion

/kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, she went to Malaysia to attend high school alone.

16 years old, entered the architecture department without graduating from high school.

Then he won a bachelor's degree in double architecture in Britain and Malaysia in one breath.

At the age of 24, she quit the job that others thought was stable.

Choose to start your own business

20 1 1, she founded Wei Xiang Architectural Design (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

20 15, she started to establish her own furniture brand.

Li wants to try to guide two emotions: one is the comfort and strength brought by books; The second is to face the happiness and hope of the future.

As a designer, Li Xiang's inspiration comes from the first sense of city given to her by each city where the project is located, and then expressed through structural means. Each clock has its own cultural characteristics. Through the fusion of several central ideas, each clock is similar, but the stories described are quite different in design characteristics.

Shanghai Minhang Store, with "Kaleidoscope" as the design highlight, focuses on British academic style, like just visiting; Hangzhou store takes "Forest Department" as the design highlight, and the children's reading area makes the carousel, roller coaster, hot air balloon and pirate ship into fixed bookshelves, just like a book playground; In addition, Yangzhou store takes "canal culture" as the design highlight and deliberately integrates "bridge" elements; Chengdu Store has integrated the "Chengdu Culture", and pandas, terraces, Facebook and Kuanzhai Lane can all be seen.

Speaking of "face value", as "the most beautiful bookstore in China", each of its stores has its own unique design highlights.

This is the business philosophy of Jin Hao, the founder of China University, that is, "only be a bookstore" and "chain stores don't copy". "I hope that when I bring each bookstore to a different city, I can experience the culture of this city and reflect it in an aesthetic way.

I think Zhong is regarded as the most beautiful bookstore-not only pure beauty, but also a cultural experience, a beautiful experience, a good service experience and an experience to meet different needs.

Jin Hao used "Zhongshu" as the name of the bookstore, and this name happened to be Jin Hao's name for his daughter. Zhong Shu loves books as well as books. Jin Hao is crazy about books and should cherish this bookstore like a daughter. Don't forget your initiative, so as to achieve your ultimate goal, and Zhongshu Bookstore will come to the "Zhongshu Pavilion" today.

Zhong not only wants to provide readers with beautiful words to explore the world, but also wants to create a pure land of books bearing the soul of books, so that readers can feel the joy from books with multi-dimensional vision, touch and taste.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of what Mao Mu said; "Developing the habit of reading is equivalent to building a shelter for yourself, which can avoid almost all disasters in life."

I think Li's original intention of designing and Jin Hao's original intention of establishing the brand of Zhongshu are to build a shelter for everyone who comes to study.

By reading, you don't have to worry about becoming an ordinary person. Everyone is their daily hero. May you love reading from now on.
