From the architect. This project is a library built on an abandoned quay by the riverside. The library is an important part of the riverside park that
was converted from an industrial wharf.The purpose of the library is not only to provide a place to read books and viewing for people, but also to
preserve the historical memory of the place.
The quay was constructed of rubble and concrete. It is 40 meters long and 14 meters wide. We designed a 32*14 meters steel structure which is
supported by 6 reinforced concrete columns on the quay. At the bottom of the building, there is the quay space.

riverside. The rough rubblehard steel and so bamboo which reflect the Chinese's natural view atthismoment..
Through a sloping ramp enter the library reading room. In the patio nearby the main entrance, there is a steel stair which is connected with the
quay. On the other side of the building, some of the wooden steps leading up to the roof were arranged on the sloping lawns.

The interior space of the library is surrounded by three bookshelf walls. The desks are closed to the bookshelf walls.
People can see the river through the window. Inside the bookshelf enclosure, there is a ladder shape reading space. The ceiling of the ladder shape
space is a bamboo device -- "The upside-down landscape". It shakes gently in the breeze. It looks like a symbol of Chinese humanistic philosophy.
