The Beijing Municipal Library is equipped with a range of smart devices that not only enhance the visitor experience, but also greatly increase the efficiency of book management.
The columns in the library were designed with inspiration from the ginkgo tree. Not only do they provide support for the entire space, but their internal cavities house key functional equipment such as electromechanical systems, rainwater harvesting systems and various cables. This design not only provides a sleek and clean look to the building, but also makes efficient use of the available space.
