The Avant-garde Bookstore in Mengzi, Yunnan province, is a contemporary architectural project that revitalizes a historic site. Built on the grounds of a former university from WWII, it preserves aspects of the original structures while introducing a fluid, serpentine design. This new building connects the park's landscape with the urban environment, allowing visitors to experience a panoramic view from a roof terrace. The materials chosen, such as rough concrete and wood, seamlessly blend the interior and exterior, creating a warm, inviting space for the community.
The Avant-garde Bookstore, located by the Southlake in Mengzi, represents a blend of historical preservation and modern architecture, enhancing the public space for visitors.
The building design features a serpentine loop that rises from the lakeshore, creating a unique journey that connects visitors to the city and landscape.
The use of rough concrete and natural wood blurs the line between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a sensory-rich environment for visitors.
ZAO/standardarchitecture's renovation selectively preserves elements of the original buildings, integrating the historical context with contemporary design to enrich urban experience.
