Fang Suo Commune, Chengdu, China
中國成都:方所書店
Architect Chu Chih-Kang took inspiration from the life of a Tang Dynasty Buddhist monk and scholar when creating the concept for the new Fang Suo Commune location in Chengdu. Designed as a knowledge depository, the subterranean space features a variety of natural materials, such as concrete, copper, iron, and sycamore, which are combined to create dramatic, almost Brutalist interiors.
方所成都店出自臺灣設計師朱志康之手,其靈感源自唐代和尚和士人的生活。書店藏書閣般的地下空間使用了各種自然材料,如混凝土、銅、鐵以及梧桐木,風格夸張、近似野獸派。
Livraria Cultura, São Paulo
巴西圣保羅:Livraria Culture書店
A cross between a bookshop and a town square, Livraria Cultura's outpost in the Jardim Paulistano neighborhood offers plenty of spots to linger with friends or the latest hardcover. Architecture firm Studio MK27 designed the sprawling location, which includes a cavernous top floor with 69-foot-long bleacher seating and two levels of books.
Livraria Culture連鎖書店也像是一座城市廣場。位于圣保羅的分店不僅擁有最新的精裝圖書,也是三五好友的流連之地。占地巨大的書店由Studio MK27工作室設計。在洞穴似的頂樓上,21米長的臺階式座椅層層展開,上下還設有兩層書架。
Shakespeare and Co., Paris
法國巴黎:莎士比亞書店
The quintessential expat bookshop was founded by American George Whitman in 1951 and remains a Left Bank landmark under the ownership of his daughter, Sylvia. Filled with books from floor to ceiling (and a few overflowing outside), the cozy store is set in a 17th-century building that once housed a monastery.
這家典型的外來書店一直是左岸的地標建筑。它由美國人喬治•惠特曼于1951年創建,現由其女兒索菲亞經營管理。書店所在的建筑曾是17世紀的一座修道院。書店里擺滿了書,從地下一直堆到天花板,還有一些書直接堆在了書店外。
