Dododo Bookstore
In collaboration with Consortium Museum, DIjon: Franck Gautherot & Seundguk Kim Dododo bookstore is the bookstore of the Power Station of Art, a contemporary art museum located in a former electricity production station in the Bund district of Shanghai. The bookstore hosts a space for creative workshops, a space for conferences and a café. This bookstore space for Power Station of Art takes up the principles of the Presses du Réel bookstore at the Consortium Museum in Dijon by offering an expanded version.
The project is based on a homage to the film 'Fahrenheit 451' by François Truffaut based on the eponymous science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury by incorporating a reference to the monorail present in the film. The monorail is thus the heart of the system: it avoids cluttering the space with mobile suspended storage wagons, which can be rolled to different locations, and are accessible from both sides. The centre with the monorail then becomes a point of attraction: you can discover the new products outside and a selection of gifts inside.
At the heart of the system takes place an active space: on the one hand, a studio to materialise the online shop and to carry out shootings to create images for the digital platform and social media of PSA thanks to a cycle control provided for this purpose; on the other hand, a space where you can sit in a small group around a table which allows, in other temporalities, to present books around a debate, a signing, etc.
The bookstore is deployed here in a larger area around the circle which is made up of seven coloured segments which extend into seven radiating branches from the monorail and which correspond to the seven sectors of activity of the bookstore. Each colour of the central structure of the hanging bookcase refers to a larger space made up of shelves, tables and other dedicated devices depending on the offer presented. The colours form a gradient which develops in space by rotating around the central circle. So the book section is orange, the one which presents the museum's publications and editions in orange-red, and so on.
This space is marked by a coloured strip on the ground which is the main path to access the section's offers from the center or the other end. All additional structures are formal variations of the supporting structures of the central monorail. They come in several widths: 3 meters, 2 meters and 1 meter to adapt to the available space. They are interchangeable because only one label on the lecterns on both sides bears the colour.
A box on wheels is housed underneath to place stock to complement the taller boxes which are placed on the periphery along the walls. The structure is also available in a window, they are placed near the two entrances. Four structures can be moved outside for events.
