曾是中国十三代王朝都城的西安有着引领最先端科技的高新技术产业开发区。在耸立于开发区一隅的时尚建筑迈科中心内的1F/2F，由日本著名设计师池贝知子女士操刀打造了覆盖4500m²、以书店为主的综合商业设施「言几又·迈科中心旗舰店」。世界遗产兵马俑、丝绸之路的起点、具有深厚文化底蕴的古都、上层君悦酒店的奢华环境、曲线型双塔建筑的优美造型，在这些赋予强烈印象的特征的基础上，打造促进东西方交流、文化融合、人与书邂逅结缘的上质空间。

The city of Xi’an was once known as Chang’an the seat of several important dynasties in ancient China; today, it is home to the Xi’an Hi-tech Industries Development Zone, a leading center of technological development. This project involved the design of the YJY Maike Centre Flagship (Store), a bookstore and commercial complex occupying 4,500 m2 on the first and second floors of an elegant building in the Development Zone. The goal of the design was to create a place for encounters between people, cultures, and books from around the world by building on three remarkable features of the site: its location in an ancient city that boasts the extraordinary World Heritage Terracotta Army as well as the origin of the Silk Road; its luxurious surroundings, including a Grand Hyatt on the upper floors; and the elegant lines of the twin building.

以「Library & Gallery」为主题。将追求时间质量的人们向往的阅读空间「Library」和感受文化艺术的空间「Gallery」这两个要素融合在一起，采用了可诱发顾客与书店创意的互动、共同营造理想环境的「宫殿式布局」。如同宫殿，从一个房间步入另一个房间，以符合人性尺度的空间构成，实现「人与人」、「人与书」、「人与空间」的亲和，就像众人喜爱的「家」，给人们归属感。

The overall concept for the project was “Library & Gallery.” Libraries are spaces for learning and valuing independent time, while galleries serve as intellectual spaces for displaying culture. The design blends elements of both and also incorporates features of palace architecture in order to encourage visitors and the store to collaboratively exchange and develop creative ideas. The layout resembles a Japanese or Chinese palace in its human scale and arrangement of interlinked rooms, while also evoking the universal concept of a house through its expression of the intimate connections between people, books, and the space itself.

1F的挑空门厅设置了10m高的书架，强烈的存在感使步入书店的人们瞬间感受到置身书店的氛围；旋转楼梯处的挑空中庭地面采用了明快的色调；天花部采用镜面处理，给人以不同于周围景色的印象；挑空空间悬挂的照明，如同飞舞的纸片；用石材镶嵌出西安中心部地图的舞台，可用于举办丰富多彩的活动。

Books play an integral role in the design of the first floor, with a 10-meter-high bookshelf just inside the entryway viscerally conveying the store’s identity the instant visitors step inside. The area around the open spiral staircase functions like a courtyard, with a bright floor and mirrors on the ceiling to distinguish it from other areas. The void above the staircase is illuminated by lights that resemble fluttering sheets of paper, while the stage at its base features an inlaid stone map of Xi’an and its surroundings, offering a gorgeous space for events.

2F兼具酒店休憩区功能，设立了吧台，为办公楼内的员工提供交流的场所。宽5m长50m的图书长廊，通过降低天花的高度和采用色彩厚重的地毯，同时在书架上设置了展示柜，营造出如画廊一般的充满艺术氛围的空间。这些触目可及、饱含文化元素的艺术作品，都是根据当地的文化主题而量身定做的。紧密融入中华历史文化积淀，整个空间充盈着古典氛围与情趣。在这里，可以使到访的客人放松心情、舒缓压力、探求、沉思、享受人生，踏上一段超越时空的创意与心灵之旅。

The second floor does double duty as a hotel lounge, with a counter bar where office workers can socialize. On the 50-meter-long “Book Street,” a low ceiling, dark colors for the floor and ceiling, and display boxes set in bookshelves come together to create a subdued gallery-like atmosphere. The distinctive artwork incorporated throughout the store is all original, commissioned to reflect themes appropriate to the location. The overall effect is a tasteful, classic environment that reflects China’s long and proud history, where visitors can relax, unwind, learn, think, enjoy life, and embark on a creative journey that transcends space and time.
