Autumn Book Room Introduction
Autumn Book Room is a bookstore that is entirely non-commercial in nature. It was founded by Qiu Siji, the owner of Taichung 107 Gallery, as a platform for communication and a literary salon for young people in Chiayi. The space gathers elements of coffee, music, and books. Under the transformation labeled "non-utilitarian" by artists, this sharp-angled triangular old house of Autumn Book Room stands amidst the traffic of Forestry West Road, resembling a ship ready to set sail at sunset, dreaming awake together. Whether immersing in a sea of books, pondering in silence, or lingering at the bar in search of caffeine or the clash of contemporary thoughts, Autumn Book Room does not have specific business offerings; visitors can express themselves freely upon boarding. What is worth admiring is the atypical bookstore space crafted by Cai Zhixian, featuring dialogues between new and old materials, a mix of rigid lines and soft curves, the angle of the sloping stairs, the interplay of light and shadow through the windows, and freely displayed books, with the ultimate focus on the suspended ship mechanics on the third floor, located at the pinnacle of the triangular structure. Standing at the bow during dusk to view the sunset offers a magnificent sight. Book lovers should also search carefully for treasures, as these books are part of the founder Qiu Siji's collection, selflessly offered for reading. If you encounter him at Autumn Book Room, make sure to sit down and chat; that is the correct way to engage in this literary salon.
