RESEARCH ABSTRACT: There is a large window along the corridor with beautiful daylight. It looks like public libraries, that usually have comfortable lights and shadows to make people peace and calm. In this project, light and shadow are well calculated both in day and night time. It's cozy during warm and soft daylights, then turned into a black-and-white-film-like atmosphere by the spot-lights in the night. When the shadows of books climb on the block of bookcases, the sight looks like
it extended into another dimension. There is just peace and calm.

A row of wood units along the corridor are designed, simple structure and easy to assembly. That turned a normal aisle into a library.
