The advanced technology of reading materials by computer, Kindle
and even cell‐phone devices
helps people easily access to information even way much more
than what library could provide
in last decades. Therefore, the main function of library seems
to have a change in order to
accommodate the current trend of getting and providing
information.
As for designing a new library in this era, our design concept
is to agree that people are in need of finding places to sit and get relaxed for getting information
from books, magazine, articles, etc. Thus, the expanded program for the local community by
providing classrooms, and exhibition area, lecture room, semi‐private reading areas,
digital data corner, etc. will be another major change in current library system. We believe not
in a dramatic way but strongly the new design of space that should convey this change in a way
to enhance and motivate public to come
and enjoy the use of library.
