Design brief 1

Description: Our idea is to modify our school library, we will be redesigning some aspects that we think would be a good idea to improve. The basic improvement is to increase the use of the library which we think is almost useless.

Context: We want to reorganize the space and renovate the worn down material:enable plugs for using the laptop, as well as some computers, replace the old blackboard  We would also like to improve the unsoundness of the room, as is next to the playground were sport’s lessons are imparted and don’t allow to either read or study. Set opening and closing hours taking into account the possibility that it could be open all day, with a teacher in charge of it always

Future users: We want the library to be a useful place divided into two zones, an area where people of all ages can take refuge from the cold and rain and another area of study, use of laptops in addition to place where we can have group work

Objectives: For us a new library means a use of space that is not being taken advantage of, with the new reorganization we intend to engage both teachers and students to see the library as a place where they can stay in recess to work or study using books from the shelves or laptops, teachers will be caregivers and will have space and quiet to work. It also can work as a meeting room or as a room dedicated to students researches involving projects and extra credit projects.

Challenges: If we use the seminar that is next to the library we could create a larger space divided into different zones. Chairs need to be changed due to the uncomfortability they generate, as larger windows for natural light.
