The Production of Readable Space:A Study of Physical Bookstores in Guangzhou from the Perspective of Reader Experience
Integrating urban reading spirit and cultural characteristics,and combining spatial cultural practices,public cultural participation,and urban cultural imagination,'readability'is a new proposition that rethinks and defines urban cultural spaces from the perspective of communication and interaction.It has characteristics of perception,interaction,and openness.Whether an urban space is'readable'not only depends on providing functional reading places,but also involves factors such as readers'cultural experience and practice,perception and emotional flow,and the shaping of urban cultural landscapes and reading spirit within urban cultural spaces.The core reading function of bookstores should first be emphasized and valued,followed by the continuous expansion of the depth of urban reading scenarios.Connecting social members in spatial form,building media symbols,and condensing social imagination to create a readable scene in the city and promote the construction of a'readable city',Guangzhou physical bookstores have opened up a cultural soil with imaginative affordances by integrating physical spaces,virtual digital platforms,and spiritual spaces.This allows readers to develop spatial imagination based on physical spaces,thus reflecting the diversity and cultural nature of the city.Through embodied cultural practices,readers can connect and interact with the landscape within the space,experiencing the readable space created by urban bookstores from three levels,such as'space roaming and practice','scene healing and metaphor',and'cultural construction and imagination'.
