About Waterway Enterijer školske biblioteke

Waterway je enterijer školske biblioteke površine 3900 kvadratnih stopa, dizajniran za školu u Hongkongu. Raspored prati dijagonalnu osu koja zamenjuje nekadašnji linearni plan. Pult za pozajmljivanje knjiga i izložbeni prostor za nove knjige okrenuti su ka ulazu, što podstiče kontakt između bibliotekara i učenika. Polica za knjige se produžava u stepenište na kojem učenici mogu da sede i čitaju, a isto stepenište prima do 30 osoba kao nastavni prostor kada se spusti projektorsko platno. Morsko plava, cement siva i tonovi drveta podsećaju na obližnje more i pejzaž.

Design Challenge
The designer used diagonal linear design as main axis, that changes the boring spatial design lively. When entering the library, the borrowing desk and new book display are in sight. This not only encourage interaction between students and librarians but increase the borrowing rate. On the other hand, the designer created an open and sharing concept for the planning to create a new feeling to attract students.
Research
The original spatial design was linear and classical, it feels strict and had low usage. The front desk was facing opposite side of the entrance and divided the bookshelves into two areas. This was inconvenient for the students, so it needs a huge change. In addition, the original setting felt closed and have a 2.4-meter-high suspended metal ceiling. The designer need to breakthrough this traditional structure, increase the book capacity and keep the air-conditioning system. To add more dimension on students learning experience and attract students to stay in the library.
Inspiration
This project is on the Lantau Island. The island is surrounded by sea with tremendous nature landscape. In densely populated Hong Kong, it is rare to have a good balance of high-rise residence and nature. The designer hopes this project links to this unique geographical environment. The main colors of the library are sea blue, cement and wood. They symbolize reading as a sea that nurture the concrete structured city, natural landscape, and a peaceful, relaxing experience.
Project Duration
The project finished in April 2022 in Ho Yu College and Primary School (Sponsored by Sik Sik Yuen), Hong Kong.
Operation Flow
Once enter the library, the borrowing desk and bookshelf are in the sight, with a hanging book recommendation on top of the shelf. This setting makes it easier to interact between the librarians and students, which might increase the borrowing rate. The stretch of the bookshelf is a set of staircase for student to sit and read. When the projector screen scrolls down, this staircase with the capacity of 30 people become a teaching area. Besides the staircase is self-study area. When students sit on the bar chair, they can admire the nature view outside the window.
