Hills in Nanjing provide a peaceful escape from city life. The library and cultural center are located on a landscape that rises up, creating a connection between the city and the buildings. Inside, the library is a space for contemplation and rest, while the cultural center encourages interaction with the city. Both places offer a shared experience for the public to enjoy.
