Text description provided by the architects. Over the past thirty years, the population of Shenzhen has grown tremendously from 300,000 to 1,400,000 people. The MIXC (Shenzhen Bay) commercial complex is located in a development area facing Shenzhen Bay where hotels, residences, sports facilities, and office buildings are clustered. We designed the 2,475 square meter bookstore on the third floor of this complex, called Yan. For many thousands of years, China has been making outstanding cultural contributions to Japan and the rest of the world. Recently, bookstores have been opening all over China which on a surface level are beautifully and strikingly designed.
