Taicang Readzone is a bookstore located inside a department store in Taicang, China. The bookstore covers 368 square meters and is arranged in the form of a circular theater. Tall book walls and multi-directional door frames recall concentrated urban street scenes and invite readers to explore. Circular movement lines connect with radial paths to form separate book groups and varied seating areas. A stainless steel ceiling reduces the heavy feeling of the large structure. Flexible shelves, tables and seats support individual reading, parent-child reading and meetings.
