The objective is to create a humanistic community space for Jiaotong College students, where they can explore their lives and grow independently. Xichao Bookstore aims to provide a physical and virtual space for those interested in humanities, which goes beyond immediate interests and nourishes the mind and spirit. The design includes bookstores, activity planning, and other spaces for students to read, watch movies, attend lectures and performances, engage in group activities, and pursue their hobbies. The goal is to form an acquaintance community that becomes an integral part of their growing memory and accompanies them through their youth.
