One-way space - institutional review

The name "One Way Street Library" is taken from the book of the same name by the German thinker Benjamin, "One Way Street", and was later renamed One Way Space. Founded by six well-known media personalities, One Way Space has become a cultural venue frequented by many writers, directors and artists after more than ten years of development. Xu Zhiyuan, one of the founders of One Way Space, believes that One Way Space is not a bookstore, but a medium. "We don't sell a book, it's the process of buying a book, where you can read, buy books, drink coffee, meet friends, and attend salons." In the past 9 years, One-Way Space has held more than 600 salons, invited more than 1,000 guests, and accumulated more than 100,000 audiences. Almost everything you see in a one-way space is a "single series" product. The "Single Reading" series on the bookshelf, each issue has a theme, and was co-written by Xu Zhiyuan and some famous intellectuals; The book series "Single Talk" is a collection of wonderful speeches from previous guests, including Mo Yan, Chen Danqing, Bai Xianyong, Yan Geling, Tian Qinxin, Jia Zhangke, Lai Shengchuan, Chai Jing, Liang Wendao, etc.; There are also a lot of daily necessities, suitcases, stationery, etc. in front of the bookshelf, which are the "single product" series of one-way space and designer cooperation, aiming to combine intellectual and emotional objects with life; The "single kitchen" is the coffee and gourmet products in each space. In terms of the richness of cultural products, the one-way space is unique. The entrance of the bookstore is decorated with its own special product, a one-way calendar, and books and cultural and creative products are placed together, mainly humanities and social science books. In terms of book selection, humanities and social sciences occupy a large category, and there is no shortage of newly published bestsellers, and a small number of foreign edition books, but there are no health chicken soup teaching and auxiliary books, which are very attractive to literary and artistic youth. Other cultural and creative products such as notebooks, pens, etc., and even bicycles are sold, like a large grocery store. Compared with other bookstores, the one-way space is a little cramped, the items are densely placed, and the aisle space is not large. The coffee production of the single kitchen is considered to be at the upper level in many bookstores, and you can also bring the unchecked books to the café to read, which is more humane.
