GATHER

The lack of commitment in current library towards the community causes limited amount of people to approach the library. A design that can gather and inspire the community to enter the library is needed for people to approach the library. The aim for the outdoor and entrance space of the library is to promote the library’s presence in the community. A social gathering space for everyone in the community.

SAMPLE AND OUTDOOR SPACE

The idea of sampling, handing out free chapters or prologues of books to the public helps promote the material. Mimicking the idea of free samples in retail stores. Tempting the consumer to buy the product but in this case, the public ‘tastes’ the material, and tempted to borrow and read the real material and be willing to enter the library

Another form of inspiration can be local art projects, displaying on the outside of the library. Benefiting both the library and creator of the artwork attracting the community to visit the library outdoor space. A form of interaction between the design and the user.
