The mirrored ceiling makes the bookstore look like an endless library Dujiangyan Zhongshuge bookstore in Chengdu, Sichuan, China attracts customers not only because of the variety of titles but also thanks to its unique architecture and excellent interior design. Architecture firm X + Living drew inspiration from the natural world with arched bookshelves to design the bookstore. A representative of architecture firm Li Xiang said it took one month to design the site and five months to complete the construction process. This shows the complexity of the project and the careful preparation of the bookstore. Thanks to the subtlety of placing mirrors inside the building, along with the sparkling black tile floor created a beautiful illusion, turning the bookstore into a giant library-like space, like a paradise for children. nerd. Chinese bookseller Zhongshuge is known for its inspirational bookstores, but its newest location, Dujiangyan in Sichuan province, is arguably the most appealing of all. The bookstore is about 975 square meters, opening in the fall of 2020. The stairs and arched doorways make the space seem much larger. The unique design makes customers feel like they are walking through glass panels. Large, dome-shaped walnut bookcases take up most of the bookstore space. The design is so perfect that it is a complete illusion but customers still love to struggle to find where the shelves really start and stop. The trick the designers use to achieve great effect is to cover the shelves with prints of books, so when looking at the entire space people will see books stretching from floor to ceiling. Li Xiang said: “If we put real books on the shelves, it will be difficult for customers to reach and it is not easy for carers to manage. The whole bookstore has more than 80,000 books, so they are I have to organize efficiently, not to waste space”. Lighting also plays an important role in the entire design. Each bookshelf will have its own light cord, which not only improves the effect of creating a sense of infinity, but also helps customers find books more convenient. Li Xiang compares the experience of walking through space-dividing arcs to ‘stepping over a rolling mountain’.

Going to the bookstore is still an indispensable habit of girls and nerds. Hanoi has many places to eat, have fun, play, relax, and entertain. Each person, depending on their needs and preferences, chooses different places to rest for themselves. People who like movies, art go to theaters, movie theaters … People who like peace of mind, of course, the most ideal destination is bookstores. And young people still go to bookstores a lot, of course, not just to “check in”. If the first book in the world appeared from the 25th century BC, the first bookstore in the world would take a long time to be born, nearly 300 years ago. Unlike a library, a bookstore is not only a place to store the treasure of human knowledge, an event venue for clubs, book lovers, but also a place for trading and exchanging books. notebooks, cultural products, even stationery and coffee. The era of digital technology took the throne, e-commerce developed like a storm, books and newspapers faced many difficulties. Around the world, many newspapers have been wiped out. Just worry that one day, paper books will also perish, replaced by electronic books. The bookstores will also gradually disappear, disappear or be transformed into a commercial complex of many things. But fortunately, that has not happened, but on the contrary, bookstores are opening more and more everywhere to meet the needs of accessing knowledge from traditional paper books and meeting and exchanging with readers. Going to the bookstore is still an indispensable habit of girls and nerds. Just opening the door of the bookstore, a unique scent of the paper of new books rushes into the nose, making perception as if it is activated, awakening, ready to receive the huge knowledge base lying. quiet on the other bookshelves. The feeling of being lost in the towering shelves, seeing them with your own eyes, touching each book is as interesting as being lost in a maze, rather than sitting in one place to buy books online. A bit overwhelmed, a little dizzy, a little confused when the covers are beautiful, all titles are good, raised and put down, inhaled for a while but still didn’t know which book to choose. Bookstores are also responsive to the trends and demands of the young customer segment. Except here and there still exist sidewalk bookstores mixed with new and old books, most of them are fake books, and most of the bookstores are designed, furnished and arranged according to the many different styles. Ancient bookstores with simple layout have been upgraded or replaced with large-scale, large-area bookstores, displaying thousands of books of all genres. There is a bookstore with vintage, classic, rustic style that teenagers like to come here to drink coffee and take pictures of romantic “check in”. There is a large book company that invests in opening a coffee book chain from the South to the North, using bookshelves and bookshelves made of natural wood with varnish, luxurious, majestic, and harmoniously combined with beautiful green bonsai pots like libraries and bookstores in Europe. Whether classic, rustic, simple or modern, luxurious, bookstores are warm and eye-catching, attracting customers, contributing to stimulating the book market demand and improving reading culture for Vietnamese. The bookstore not only sells books but also stationery, funny souvenirs, cute and lovely handmade cards, very convenient for customers to shop. There is a bookstore that hangs a board on the wall for customers to write to send someone a few lines of nostalgic feelings, anger and indifference, good feelings about the bookstore or a few sincere suggestions. Or you can also write for yourself words that you cannot share with anyone to ease your heartache. For a long time, I have the opportunity to return to visit the bookstore, standing in front of a “note” board with all kinds of colors, as if seeing the inner world of many strangers who are also rich, many levels and colors. how damn good. And suddenly smiling, I see why I have had times so weak, so sentimental, I love someone so much … Most of the people who go to bookstores are students. This is the age group with the greatest demand for reading to serve the needs of filling and expanding knowledge about life and the world around them, in addition to knowledge learned in school. The kids who love the most are science fiction comics, sports, humor, fairy tales, stories about famous celebrities, books that answer thousands of questions about why … , students love to read books that inspire beautiful lives, skill books, career guidance, travel tours, detective stories and psychological and emotional stories, which are somewhat lyrical … The brains of those who belong This age group also has the best ability to absorb knowledge because they do not have too much trouble with family, livelihood, and money. There are a number of working people who also buy books, read books with high content of knowledge, specialized knowledge to improve their expertise, profession, work or research. Many elderly and retired doctors still actively read books to help the brain to ceaselessly move, combat aging and memory decline in the elderly. In the bookstore, we can easily see the image of many parents taking their children to buy books and school supplies. Children love to read but do not have good and appropriate book-selection skills, so they need parents, adults to guide, orientate or choose to help. Books are always a gift with a meaningful spiritual value and going to the bookstore becomes a reward for good kids on weekends. Regularly allowing children to go to the bookstore also contributes to nurture their love of books and encourages them to read because not all children like to read. Friends who love the atmosphere at book cafes often date, meet here to share with each other about work, life and a passion for books. There is a large bookstore that has dedicated an entire room for those who need absolute tranquility to read, work and study. There have been close friendships, beautiful love stories like dreams blossomed, blossoming and fruitful from beautiful bookstores like poetry. I am also one of the book lovers and a regular visitor to many bookstores. When it comes to choosing cafes for dating and meeting friends, my first and number one choice is book cafes. Many of my friends are also book lovers or work in books and magazines. I often go to enjoy book coffee by myself, especially when I need to focus on composing, writing, or simply resting, relaxing. Leaving behind all the noise of daily life, temporarily setting aside all worries, living a beat slow, we enter the bookstore like stepping into a different world, a quiet, deep world. identity, mastery of words, filled with the light of human knowledge. It feels like we are sitting in the middle of the floor, the class of sages, famous authors all over the world to listen to them tell their own special stories, take us immersed, adventurous to all. domain in the vast universe. That feeling of fluttering, in that space filled with the smell of new paper, resonating with the faint and delicate coffee scent of my nose pushed up the flow of emotions, helping me to work more effectively … How beautiful and civilized the city is when there are more bookstores. To sow, awaken, nurture intellectual dreams from within the seed …

The common point of bookstores in Chung Thu Cac system is that the ceilings are mirror-clad, thanks to the reflection, the bookstore space is expanded, creating an infinite feeling. In addition, bookstores use the deep and subtle colors of the libraries in ancient Europe. The system of stairs winding around the columns of books really impresses visitors At Chung Thu Cac in Chengdu, the design company X + Living has set up columns of books that are high to the ceiling, and a system of stairs curled around the columns to help readers easily access the desired works. However, not all the books on the columns are real books. There were only pictures of books on the top shelves of the column.
