Library Transformation: Libraries – the citizen's driving force for innovation

All people want to change something in their lives and to develop themselves and meet information and knowledge

Libraries are places where the general public can find inspiration and meet new ideas, either on their own within this public sphere, or in the company of others

Libraries support people with possibilities to make changes in their life

How do we sketch the future library transitioning to a space for citizens and community connections?

The building interacts with the surroundings and environment

The building acts adaptively

Flexibility is function

The Vision Space for co-operation

Place for dialogue, knowledge, ideas and inspiration

Open informal learning space

A unique place for children and families


New ways of defining the functionality

Flexibility is the functionality

Maximize unprogrammed space

Leave the media and mediaformats as the focus point in organizing the space

Focus the human needs og sociality – use the 4 space model


Focus planning interior

Supporting citizens different needs

Creating different surroundings

Space for activities/programms

Continuous flexibility – avoid permanent installations

Controlling the media stock

Modern industrial furnitures no design icons


Interior plan

The interior planning reflects the 15 years experience from projects together with partners and users

Lots of discussions with both library professionels and other diciplines

Experiencies from DK and other countries

The result is an ’interior medley’

Partners/users are the key to continuous change


Interior plan

The inside of Dokk1 consist of 4 different areas with no sharp limits Citizens’ Service

Public space with info, meeting rooms, cafe, auditorium, popup/democracy area

Adult library with professionel support

Families and childrens library with professionel support

A perspective all over the services are to support the users to act on their own

The interior plan was finished just 4 months before opening


Level 1 - adult

4 space model Experience Discover Participate Create

Combined with a wide learning definition where learning take place in different kinds of environments

Users are active participants and the library space shall support their needs

Important users can be on their own, together with others with or without contact – inclusion factor
