Riva River, East China Normal University

On the campus of East China Normal University, there flows a poetic Liva River

It is a witness to the years and carries the youthful memories of countless teachers.

By the river, a unique book bar stands quietly

Its predecessor was an abandoned textbook department warehouse, which was renovated by the Nissin design team.

Transformed into a cultural and creative vessel

The book bar retains the pitched roof of the original building, uses glass rooms and steel frames to make up for the lack of space, and creates a unique entrance.

Next to the Chonger Pavilion, the old doors and windows were removed and the shape was reshaped with rusted steel plates.

The base is like a ship of history

The clever use of terracotta bricks in the building echoes the traditional kiln-shaped elements, which is simple yet modern.

Read books and enjoy the scenery in the book bar, and feel the years in the pavilion

This is a palace of knowledge and an aesthetic space where art and culture intertwine.
