MAT Office's Pyramid Book House, located near Chengdu, is a temporary bookstore designed with respect for its rural context. The building features three distinct pyramidal forms for reading, display, and leisure, each equipped with skylights to enhance natural light. These structures are connected by a transparent roof that fosters a seamless relationship with the environment. The use of local materials, such as wooden tiles and pine plywood, aligns the design with the area's vernacular architecture while emphasizing structural simplicity and economic construction techniques.
The Pyramid Book House by MAT Office allows architecture to emerge from place rather than program, reflecting sensitivity to the site's context and quiet transformation.
Each of the three pyramidal structures serves a distinct purpose, integrating light through skylights and creating a harmonized space linked by a transparent roof.
