BOOKSTORE IN THE BLAST FURNACE hyperSity architects
The center of the circle of the three blast furnaces is the core and spiritual fortress of the whole blast furnace . The symbolic and commemorative nature of the core is enhanced by the lighting designer , through the threedimensional sense created by the red wall washing lamp , the light that is projected on the furnace body like a flame , and the details of some metal rods on the blast furnace , creating a warm atmosphere like the fireplace and giving the shuttle crowd a sense of worship . The relationship between the service and the served space is diffused outward from the center , and the second ring is the front end of the core as a service space , and also a visual and functional hub to strengthen the ritual sense and centripetal force of the core .
The third ring of the floating device and the outermost ring near the facade of the fourth ring reading activity area are served Spaces . The reading activity area is a flexible area inside the blast furnace . It can be used as a corner for reading and communication . It can also be used as a space for activities , lectures and conferences , equipped with the functions of coffee and simple meals .
