朵云书院·戏剧店，以“垂直领域书店”的概念，容纳文学、音乐、电影、动漫等泛戏剧艺术领域，餐饮、展览与讲座等功能，使具有浓厚戏剧气息的老街区焕发新的文化生命力。 “不受控制的记忆闯入故事线，重新调整并固化构成。”非线性结构演化为沉浸式戏剧或空间。吕永中将非线性结构融入戏剧书店的设计之中，在人们体验书店的沉浸式空间时，“书店本身就是一出属于自己的戏剧，由人与空间及人际关系互动创造出独特体验”。 街区脉络、戏剧基调、垂直领域，是和原建筑的一次对话。“戏剧”主题并不意味着呈现具象的戏剧：“过去，戏剧倾向于台上演出，台下观看的关系，现在，我们的生活每天都在发生戏剧性变化，戏剧指向新的可能”。 随建筑本身特性，布局重新分理，满足其各项组成的可到达性，在分散空间中非线性地连接起来，让人们在书店中“游园”，沉浸场景、也享受阅读的乐趣。
