Xinhua Bookstore


This is without a doubt the most beautiful bookstore I've ever visited: the Xinhua shop in the Aegean Place mall in Shanghai's Minhang district. The design is by famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando. What made it extra attractive from a photographer's point of view is that large parts are not used yet, making for stunning abstract shot opportunities. I've flipped this one upside down for an even more interesting effect.
