According to official reports, Xuzhou Phoenix Bookstore Building claims that its hardware facilities meet the standard of a four-star hotel, but I don't know whether it refers to the office level above the bookstore in the future. Because four-star hotels use more floors and carpets than floor tiles, the gap in elevator glass should not exceed a little finger.
On the whole, the business philosophy of Phoenix Xuzhou Bookstore is moving from selling books to selling culture.
The library management area adopts transparent glass and natural light, which can expand the visual space of the whole bookstore and make the long and narrow bookstore stretch more. A relatively spacious browsing space and reading soft seats are set up by the window in the venue, which is very humanized, but there are not many seats. In addition to books, there are also sales of movies, audio-visual and cultural products. The book checkout counter is located on the first floor, which weakens the sales color.
In book classification, special libraries are used. From literature, law, children, health care to Chinese studies, every "library" is decorated very advanced, and the floors, split-level wooden walkways and bookshelves in the ancient books area complement each other. Each partition has adopted a special design and decoration. Except for the National Studies Museum and other areas, the overall light and color of the book city are cold, and the theme of the blue and white bookshelves is obviously different from that of the main bookstores in the urban area.
Bright decorative lines are often used in office areas, which weakens the creation of cultural atmosphere. Modern bookshelves and red and white salespeople's clothes similar to flight attendants are not easy to create a cultural atmosphere of literary ink and wash, and the corridor is adjacent to the reading area, which greatly affects the reading atmosphere. For readers who are used to wood texture and warm light source, it may take time to get used to it, and some customers may be lost. Manual book classification that must be rigid cannot replace book index, and reading experience may be the primary consideration.
