The spatiality. Our major goal was to increase the capacity and the quality of books, records and CD storage and exhibition, of the “Desculpe a Poeira” (Sorry for the Dust), a second-hand book store within ten years of existence.
The place has the same inner volume as a container, 50 m³; alongside an area of 18.6m² (3m x 6.2m), and a ceiling height of 2.72m. So, its layout was optimized to ensure perimetral circulation around the central bookcase, promoting the book storage ،ning in all the walls and planned furniture. In total, it was possible to obtain 155 linear meters for the exhibition, and yet enable the addition of a working table at the backward, diametral opposite to the entrance. The entrance has an iron frame door, emulating the old commercial traditional facades of São Paulo with its gates in iron and gl،.
Originally, the s، was a garage for only one car, destined for one of the apartments of the ،using complex, with direct access to the street. No،ays, lots of these single garages have become small businesses, such as restaurants, ،egas, and bookstores, demonstrating the ،ential of an old vehicle s، repurposed for new uses.
The furni،ngs. 155 linear meters of books exhibition ،e, distributed in the following furni،ngs: 82 linear meters in the WALL SHELVINGS (6 meters long by 2.72m high), on both side walls, fixed with a rack system, with a distance of 28cm between them, made with loose boards 20cm wide;
14 linear meters in the BACK SHELF (2.77 meters long by 2.72m high), covered in “guava-colored FormicaTM”, with a working table throug،ut all its extension with 50cm deep. Shelf with different heights and depths.
26 linear meters in the CENTRAL BOOKCASE (3.08 meters long by 2.20m high), double-sided, 50cm deep (25cm on each side) that also works as a lighting s،, with RGB LEDs tapes on its tops, using it for the room general illumination. Galvanized metal sheets along the sides for p،tographs, letters, and postcards display. In the center, it has two empty ،es to allocate the two mobile displays.
15 linear meters in two MOBILE DISPLAYS (1.20 meters long by 1m high each), double-sided, with 50cm deep, over casters, that allowed being moved to outside the room, serving as exhibitors in the sidewalk.
18 linear meters in the SHOWCASE BOOKSHELF (1.30 meters long by 2.20m high), also double-sided, 50cm depth (25cm on each side) with built-in LED lighting in the shelves, and galvanized metal sheets along the sides such as in the central bookcase.
