In 2018, “Xinglong Lake Bookstore Architectural Creative Design Competition” started to be open to the public entries. MUDA-Architects emerged as the winner among 20 finalists out of 249 candidates. Chengdu Tianfu New Area has been identified as a crucial node in the development of The Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. This was stressed by President Xi when he visited Xinglong Lake in February 2018. He also mentioned that it was significant to analyse ecological value in line with the development to implement the concept of “Park City”. To correspond, the competition is prepared for creating a lakeside bookstore as a new landmark of Chengdu, which could leverage the ecological value and the human spirit collectively. Taking this as an opportunity to reflect and embody the inimitable temperament and leisurely lifestyle of Chengdu, MUDA-Architects made efforts to convey the esteem of local natural environment and add a new dimension to the future vision of “landscape integration and urban symbiosis”.
