Lushui, the prefecture's capital city, situated in the southern part of Nujiang. Embraced by the Biluo and Gaoligong Mountains, the city serves as the southern gateway of the Nujiang Canyon as well as the first stop of Avant-Garde's upstream journey along the river. Yangpo Village, where the bookstore stands, perches on the Gaoligong ridge. It is a primitive Lisu settlement for generations. Adapted to the harsh terrain, they developed distinctive tools, particularly crossbows and arrows, which became a cultural totem and a key inspiration for the project.
Within the intricate historical context, the bookstore ultimately adopts a completely contemporary language to respond to the prevalent sloped-roof typology of the village, representing a highly abstract expression rooted in the present construction context. Through this dialogue, the bookstore also becomes a media that connects the past and present of the village.
Librairie Avant-Garde has brought the contemporary cultural spark to the ethnic minority settlement of Yangpo Village. Taking the bookstore as a fulcrum, Librairie Avant-Garde will further rejuvenate the village’s cultural vitality and draw global attention to both the ethnic minorities and the Nujiang Grand Canyon in the future.
