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.

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.
