About Color Craze Librarya sa Primaryang Eskuylahan

Ang Color Craze usa ka interior sa librarya alang sa usa ka primaryang eskuylahan. Ang disenyo nag-renovate sa usa ka daan nga librarya ug naglangkob sa 1,600 square feet. Ang dili regular nga mga estante sa libro, built-in nga mga slide, mga lugar nga adunay tema sa kolor, ug mga interactive nga bungbong maoy naghulma sa espasyo. Ang mga estudyante mokuha og mga libro gamit ang mga slide ug modrowing sa mga graffiti wall. Ang mga zone nga giklasipikar pinaagi sa kolor nagpaila sa mood ug function, samtang ang padayon nga suga ug dili regular nga mga porma naggiya sa lihok. Ang layout giplano gamit ang computer aided design nga mga himan ug color psychology, ug ang mga muwebles ug suga nagsunod sa mga prinsipyo sa ergonomics. Ang tumong mao ang pagpataas sa interes sa pagbasa.

Production Technology
We applied participatory design methods—observing student behavior, surveying preferences, and simulating furniture use. Spatial layout was optimized with CAD tools and color psychology theory, while ergonomic principles were applied to the furniture and lighting design for comfort and usability.
Design Challenge
The main challenges were balancing fun with function and adapting non-traditional furniture forms to building safety codes. Space constraints and fixed structural elements required inventive layout solutions. Sourcing safe, durable materials in bright colors was another hurdle. We overcame these through close coordination with engineers and iterative prototyping.
Research
We conducted behavioral observation and surveys targeting students aged 7–12. The objective was to understand spatial and emotional barriers to reading. Data was collected through interviews, usage logs, and mood mapping. Results showed a clear link between colorful, playful environments and increased time spent reading. The research informed our design, leading to a space that promotes learning and social interaction.
Inspiration
We were inspired by the low reading engagement among students. The outdated and dull library environment failed to spark curiosity. Our motivation was to create a space that feels vibrant and playful—one that stimulates interest in reading through color, creativity, and interaction.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2023 at SRJK(C) Chung Hwa 3 in Penang, Malaysia. From initial design to construction and implementation, the entire renovation was completed by March 2024, when the new library officially opened.
Operation Flow
The library allows for flexible interaction: students retrieve books using slides, write or draw on graffiti walls, and gather in color-coded zones that signal mood and function. Seamless lighting and irregular forms support intuitive movement and help users feel immersed, engaged, and welcome.
