Cyber Library

Cyborg indicates the boundary between nature and machine is blurred, which continues to the blurring boundary between people. We redefine the library and create more possibilities. The new era is inclusive, and the library can also be a leisure and entertainment area, which is equivalent to a creative centre/gallery. This provides a feeling of All-in-One.
