About Yappy Bookstore Multi-booksote Space
Yappy Bookstore is a multifunctional bookstore interior in Taipei, Taiwan, covering 450 square meters. The space is used for reading, film screenings, lectures and music performances. The large beams and columns of the old building are treated as camera frames that guide views across the rooms. Vintage books, bricks, iron, old window frames and concrete are combined, so old and new surfaces meet without a clear boundary. A red book wall leads visitors through the interior. Small openings in the walls bring daylight inside, and a high stage blurs the border between performers and audience.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Transform the conditions of the old and abandoned space into advantages, break through limitations and shortcomings, the huge beams and columns in the old-style buildings are replaced by obstacles in the eyes of the designer to a camera's frame, and the romantic banquet is performed in the frame, showing the retro atmosphere Harmony, the texture of some old walls is preserved, and some of the surface cement is destroyed and buried in the original elements of the building to deconstruct, so that there is no boundary between the old and the new, showing a more story side.
- Inspiration
- The design concept expresses the reality of time and space shuttle. In this traditional round building in the southern China style , the contemporary and hustle and bustle that has been walked through, the Age is nicked in the body. Yappy Bookstore is like the experience of wanting to enter Alice in Wonderland. With the red line taking over the space, the red book wall leads into a magical field where time flows in the literary space.
- Research
- Organic design often retains the essence of the space and uses open and transparent compression techniques to allow us to feel the breath of the flowing field in a seemingly static three-dimensional space building. The space function combines film, reading, lectures, music performances and other exhibition activities. Professional sounds space research is inevitable. The three-dimensional layout floor creates a good sound-absorbing space. Created with spring structure and soft materials.
- Challenge
- It is a challenge to limit the angle of looking for viewing in a long and narrow space as the core of the field. The two-way and open between looking and being looked are the main concepts of this design. The high stage blurs the stage boundary to allow the performer to integrate into the crowd at any time, and the audience also forms a sense of interaction in the visual performance. The original large arc-shaped window allows too much light to enter the field, and the interleaved arrangement of walls and windows is deliberately designed to form the spatial charm of the light beam.
- Realization and Technology
- Vintage book, concrete, Old window frame, brick, Iron
- Operation and Interaction
- In order to embed more clues for reading, when designing the space, carefully thought out like carved text, staggering and stacking ancient books and bricks, and then covering them with concrete, the book is a carrier of space and time, revealing All the works need to be excavated, and they are presented with challenges through the different interfaces of books and red bricks and concrete.
