Nowadays it is becoming increasingly hard for small independent bookshops to compete, not only with firmly established booksellers on the high street, but also with the advent of digital devices such as the kindle. This small bookshop in Bratislava by Slovakian architects Martin Jančok of Plural and Aleš Šedivec of Totalstudio aims to create a flexible space to both sell books and also to facilitate various events such as workshops and lectures. A stepped wooden platform allows people to sit and look at books, but in addition can be filled up with spectators for an impromtu auditorium.
