Floating Chip Library

Floating Chip

This library is more like a floating chip, an artificial cloud. But what is certain is that it brings great appeal to the community. An opportunity to become a city business card. The floor of the Library is free and horizontal. The project wants to use the advantages of technology to maximize the liberation of reading space and the re-interpretation of urban publicity. The library uses a steel truss roof to suspend the floor so that the transmission of force is from top to bottom. The interaction between people and space achieves the goal of the highly flexible cross-cultural atmosphere.

Floating Chip Library by Zhang Jinyu was highlighted as an innovative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Floating Chip Library earned the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2020. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design recognition program which celebrates superior design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
