Library, bookshop and book centre are known as a room or set of rooms where books and other literary materials are kept, and displayed. Our approach to this project is to enter the formal world of the book, by occurring scale shift and subversion of the usage. We propose the contain to metaphorically become the container. The building take the playful shape of giant scaled stack of book. The encounter this book like stacking of built functions recalls to the user subconscious the fragile equilibrium of such stacking, an uncanny sensation to experience while facing a building. The shape goes deeper than the metaphor and also allowed an optimized ventilation  of the inner court and exterior space and shadings for each units.
