Huai’an Zhongshuge Bookstore

Li Xiang Bookstore Interior Monday, 9 November 2026

Huai’an Zhongshuge

The Huai'an Zhongshuge bookstore reimagines architectural space as a cosmic journey, blending surrealism with structural precision. Dominated by exaggerated three dimensional forms, the interior evokes celestial mechanics through concentric rings and irregular geometric structures that mimic astronomical instruments. Bookshelves curve and spiral like planetary orbits, their dynamic arrangements echoing the motion of celestial bodies. Scattered books, akin to fragments of infinite worlds, nestle within these sculptural shelves.

Fuma House

Masakatsu Matsuyama House Architecture Thursday, 5 November 2026

Fuma

Fuma is a three-story house in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. The site faces a busy railway to the east, so the first-floor east wall is set back, while the second-floor structure and the third-floor eaves block noise, vibration and street views. Gaps between these elements let natural light and outside ambiance reach the interior. The main living space is on the second floor and works like a single-story home. Reinforced concrete load-bearing walls and unbonded cables support cantilevers of 5.6 meters east and 3.2 meters south. Large glazed openings face the courtyard.
