Catch the Sound from the Ocean

The book house is a space that can catch the sound of the ocean.

Enter the site from north entrance at the foot of the mountain, a white-lighted building gleaming above the treetops. Three openings of the design rotate inwards, facing the sky, the woods, and the sea, collecting the sounds and scenery around the site. It is like a small spiritual lighthouse, continuously converging and bridging the fragments of nature within the spiritual world of reading.

There is no obvious internal and external lines in the bookstore. The outside nature wander into the room gently, and the internal activities flow out along the curve. This design uses a modern and organic shape and the core of the Oriental Bookstore to capture the touching moments of the coexistence of human and natural ecology in the site.
