Die Ontwerp

Oor Color Craze Laerskoolbiblioteek

Color Craze is 'n biblioteekinterieur vir 'n laerskool. Die ontwerp behels die opknapping van 'n ou biblioteek en beslaan 1 600 vierkante voet. Onreëlmatige boekrakke, ingeboude glybane, kleurtema-areas en interaktiewe mure vorm die ruimte. Leerders haal boeke met behulp van die glybane en teken op graffiti-mure. Kleurgekodeerde sones dui stemming en funksie aan, terwyl deurlopende beligting en onreëlmatige vorms beweging rig. Die uitleg is beplan met rekenaargesteunde ontwerphulpmiddels en kleursielkunde, en die meubels en beligting volg ergonomiese beginsels. Die doel is om belangstelling in lees te verhoog.

Unieke Eienskappe: This is a renovation plan for an old library that turns a static reading space into an immersive, engaging environment. Its unique features include irregular bookshelves, built-in slides, color-themed areas, and interactive walls, offering students a playful, flexible, and user-centered reading experience.
Afmetings & Verpakking: 1,600 square feet
Etikette: Colorful library design, student-centered space, educational renovation, interactive reading environment, irregular furniture, ambient lighting, creative bookshelf design, school interior upgrade, playful learning space, youth reading engagement
Produksietegnologie: 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.
Ontwerpuitdaging: 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.
Navorsing: 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.
Inspirasie: 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.
Projekduur: 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.
Bedryfsvloei: 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.
