Immediately after the completion of the façade and the structure, it remained empty. However, at the city's will and thanks to the intervention of the Wutopia Lab studio, it has recently become the iconic public library of the Zikawei district.

While his works usually narrate cities with "WanderWorld", instead, he explored the new "urban landscapes".
