New bookstore sheds light on art of design
Print Edition
THE charm of Japanese architect Tadao Ando has won him many fans around the world. In Shanghai, he has designed three buildings — the Aurora Museum, the Poly Grand Theater and the Shanghai International Design Center.
Now his local followers can add the Space of Light Xinhua Bookstore, a museum-cum-bookstore, to the list.
The 4,000-square-meter egg-shaped facility has recently open to the public in Minhang District. It is more like a library than the familiar bookstore, where one might find a book that he is interested and sit on the ground to read in a soothing atmosphere.
Since its opening, an exhibition titled “Tadao Ando: Leading” is underway, featuring models of Ando’s creations, videos, manuscripts and related materials of the masterpieces he has created.
Entering the exhibition hall, visitors are greeted by a wall of Ando’s publications over the decades through various magazines, newspapers and books.
The highlight of the exhibition is a site model of Naoshima, an island with no more than 4,000 residents in the Seto Inner Sea. Visitors can get an overview of the island and the museums on it.
The exhibition also showcases some furniture that Ando designed, such as the well-curved ergonomic chairs.
Date: Through May 20, 10am-5pm
Venue: Space of Light Xinhua Bookstore
Address: 8/F, Bldg 6, 120 Hongjin Rd
