Paradise for Little Readers

The Gaobu Book House, a collaborative project masterminded by Prof. Peter W. Ferretto of the School of Architecture at CUHK and Prof. Cai Ling of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Guangzhou University was opened at Gaobu village of the Hunan Province in December last year. Spending two years planning and developing the Book House, the research team hopes to preserve the Dong ethnic group’s traditional architectural design and re-energize the rural community through the initiative. By building interactive elements into the design, it also hopes to stimulate children’s interest in reading.
