2015全球最美书店：天堂也许就是这样了（附送世纪君精品书单）
今天是世界读书日。理想中，灵魂与身体总有一个在路上，我们读书又旅行；现实里，灵魂和身体却总有一个在床上，我们不是睡觉就是放空……也许，理想与现实间只有一个书店的距离。焚香沐浴的意义、远赴他乡的动力，如果你还没有找到，那一定是你还没有遇见过那样一间书店。最近，世界著名家居设计杂志《安邸AD》（Architectural Digest）评出了14家全球最美书店，有人说，天堂也许就是这样了……
荷兰马斯特里赫特：天堂书店
Boekhandel Selexyz Dominicanen, Maastricht, The Netherlands
店如其名，“天堂书店”高高的穹顶让人仿佛置身云间。这间书店位于马斯特里赫特市中心，前身是一座建于13世纪的破败教堂。荷兰建筑师默克斯·吉罗德将其改造成一座华丽的书店。书店共三层，教堂壮观的原貌依稀可见，原来唱诗班所在的区域如今变成了咖啡区。
Dutch architecture firms SatijnPlus Architecten and Merkx Girod transformed a decrepit 13th-century church into a spectacular bookstore in the center of Maastricht. A three-story bookcase houses volumes and offers incredible views of the restored sanctuary, while the choir area is now home to a café.
巴西里约热内卢：Saraiva书店
Saraiva, Rio de Janeiro
走进“Saraiva书店”的第一感觉是好像看见了彩虹：双层高的一楼上面是暖胡桃木的（悬浮）书架，里面按赤橙黄绿青蓝紫摆着书籍，下面还有座位供人们一享阅读之乐。这些座位都是出自巴西设计师之手，塞尔吉奥·罗德里格斯的作品就在其中。
Studio Arthur Casas crafted a colorful, four-story outpost for Brazilian bookseller Saraiva.The double-height first level is bordered by a rainbow of books arranged on warm walnut shelves, and seating options by Brazilian designers such as Sérgio Rodrigues offer pleasant spots to read.
比利时布鲁塞尔：Cook & Book书店
Cook & Book, Brussels
书籍是人类精神的食粮，不过填饱肚子也一样是人生大事。这家位于布鲁塞尔的小店集书店和餐厅于一身，顾客们既能享受文字、也能享用美食。书店横跨两大建筑，分成各有特色的九大区域，每个区域带有独立餐厅。
Shoppers can feast on words as well as food at this inventive bookshop in Brussels. Designed by interior architecture firm Delacroix & Friant, the store is spread over two buildings and divided into nine uniquely decorated sections, each with its own dining area. Books appear to hover above the black-and-red fiction department, while an Airstream is the centerpiece of the travel area.
中国成都：方所书店
Fang Suo Commune, Chengdu, China
充满着混凝土气息的方所成都店出自台湾设计师朱志康之手，其灵感源自唐代和尚和士人的生活。书店的藏书阁般的地下空间使用了各种自然材料，风格夸张，近似野兽派。
Architect Chu Chih-Kang took inspiration from the life of a Tang Dynasty Buddhist monk and scholar when creating the concept for the new Fang Suo Commune location in Chengdu. Designed as a knowledge depository, the subterranean space features a variety of natural materials, such as concrete, copper, iron, and sycamore, which are combined to create dramatic, almost Brutalist interiors.
巴西圣保罗：Livraria Culture书店
Livraria Cultura, São Paulo
Livraria Culture连锁书店更像是一座城市广场。位于圣保罗的分店不仅拥有最新的精装图书，也是三五好友相聚的好地方。占地巨大的书店由Studio MK27工作室设计，在洞穴似的顶楼上，21米长的台阶式座椅层层展开。
A cross between a bookshop and a town square, Livraria Cultura’s outpost in the Jardim Paulistano neighborhood offers plenty of spots to linger with friends or the latest hardcover. Architecture firm Studio MK27 designed the sprawling location, which includes a cavernous top floor with 69-foot-long bleacher seating and two levels of books.
法国巴黎：莎士比亚书店
Shakespeare and Co., Paris
对于爱书人来说，到了巴黎，可以不去埃菲尔铁塔，不去圣母院和卢浮宫，但绝不能错过传说中的莎士比亚书店。这家典型的外来书店一直是左岸的地标建筑。书店里摆满了书，从地下一直堆到天花板，还有一些直接堆在了书店外。
The quintessential expat bookshop was founded by American George Whitman in 1951 and remains a Left Bank landmark under the ownership of his daughter, Sylvia. Filled with books from floor to ceiling (and a few overflowing outside), the cozy store is set in a 17th-century building that once housed a monastery.
葡萄牙波尔图：莱罗书店
Livraria Lello, Porto, Portugal
If the sumptuous surroundings of Livraria Lello feel straight out of a Harry Potter book, there’s a good reason for that—J.K. Rowling lived in Porto while writing the series, and the bookstore is rumored to be part of the inspiration for Hogwarts. The neo-Gothic building, built by Xavier Esteves in 1906, houses more than 100,000 books amid stained glass and ornate carved wood.
希腊圣托里尼岛：亚特兰蒂斯书坊
Atlantis Books, Santorini, Greece
提起希腊总让人想起一望无际蔚蓝的大海和海边层层叠叠的白色小房子，坐落在圣托里尼岛的伊亚小镇的亚特兰蒂斯书坊就仿佛压缩在白色建筑中的一座文学天堂。在那里，还能俯瞰火山口的美景。
Located in the tiny village of Oia on the island of Santorini, Atlantis Books is a small literary haven tucked into the basement of a traditional whitewashed building overlooking the caldera. Since opening in 2004, the charming shop has become a landmark and must-visit destination for travelers and locals alike.
瑞士洛桑：豆荚书店
Librairie La Fontaine, Lausanne, Switzerland
向往童话世界的小伙伴们一定要去转转位于瑞士洛桑联邦理工学院的豆荚书店 。书店沿袭了SANAA曲线的设计风格，曲线性的书架包裹着阅读座位仿佛一个个豆荚。
Located within the Rolex Learning Center on the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne campus, this branch of Librairie La Fontaine reflects the curvilinear architecture of the SANAA-devised building. Kawamura-Ganjavian, in conjunction with NOR architectes, created elliptical bookcases that curve to form pods with seating areas for browsing.
日本东京：茑屋书店
Daikanyama T-Site, Tokyo
茑屋书店的设计意图是创造出“林间图书馆”的感受。书店由三栋建筑组成，名为“杂志街”的中央走廊将建筑打通。每栋建筑都装有晶格状低辐射镀膜玻璃，可以映出周围的树木。
Designed by Klein Dytham Architecture to feel like a “library in the woods,” Daikanyama T-Site is composed of three buildings connected by a central corridor known as Magazine Street. Each pavilion is clad in latticelike screens of interlocking Ts and low-emissivity glass, which reflects the surrounding trees. Inside, the Anjin Lounge is decorated with a screen by contemporary artist Masatake Kosaki and a bar and tables made of secondhand books.
美国洛杉矶：最后一家书店
The Last Bookstore, Los Angeles
如果世界上只剩下最后一家书店，那么它应该各处都堆满书吧。在这座位于洛杉矶春季艺术大楼内的“最后一家书店”里，过道都是满目书籍，抬头伸手都是书香。
Set in a 20,000-square-foot space in downtown Los Angeles’s Spring Arts Tower, the Last Bookstore is a madcap cross between an independent bookstore and an art installation. The airy space is filled with creatively repurposed volumes, including a mural and tunnel made out of books.
墨西哥城：Cafebrería El Péndulo书店
Cafebrería El Péndulo, Mexico City
Cafebrería El Péndulo是墨西哥城里的连锁书店咖啡馆，不过最漂亮的还当属位于波朗科的分店。这家书店明朗宽敞，内顶很高，可以容下两层楼的图书。店内植物、藤蔓蜿蜒而上，让你阅读的同时还能感受自然的气息。
El Péndulo, a chain of Mexico City bookstore–coffee shops, may have several locations, but the most beautiful is the Polanco branch. The bright, soaring space includes two stories of books, the second accessible by balcony. Plants and vines wind their way through the shop, adding a jungle feel.
英国伦敦：Assouline书店
Assouline, London
声誉颇高的Assouline出版公司开设的书店坐落在1922年的老建筑楼之中。这里的书籍与陈设都仿照英式家庭图书馆，看上去是不是很像福尔摩斯的书房？
The esteemed publishing company celebrated its 20th anniversary last year by opening its first international flagship, in London’s Piccadilly area. The 5,400-square-foot store is set in a 1922 building designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, and shoppers can commission custom-made volumes from the on-site bookbinder, dine in the café, and outfit their home library with both books and furnishings.
阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯：雅典人大书店
El Ateneo Grand Splendid, Buenos Aires, Argentina
壮观的雅典人大书店位于阿根廷首都布宜诺斯艾利斯的Recoleta区。书店出自建筑师费尔南多·曼佐恩之手，由一座1919年的老剧院改造而成。一排排的书籍之上是意大利画家萨纳雷诺·奥兰迪绘制的穹顶壁画，实在是艺术爱好者的必去之地。
Architect Fernando Manzone transformed a former theater into a spectacular branch of El Ateneo, the Argentine bookseller. Located in the Recoleta area, the 1919 building displays rows of books beneath the domed ceiling painted by Italian artist Nazareno Orlandi and along the ornate balconies.
