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?

Inspiration space
The space for meaningful experiences that is to say experiences that move us
The space should open up to the irrational, emotional and chaotic by communicating a diversion of aesthetic experiences.
This can happen through storytelling or other artistic expressions within all kinds of media, cultural forms and genres.
The inspiration space should make the user want to move beyond the usual choices and to come back.
The library space in itself may also be an experience and work as a stage for events and cultural arrangements.
The inspiration space especially supports realisation (cognition)/experience and innovation.

Learning space
Space where children, young people and adults can experience and explore the world and thus strengthen their competences and possibilities through free and easy access to information and knowledge
Learning is seen as a dialogue oriented process that is based on the users’ own experiences and their wishes to define their own learning needs
Often takes place in informal settings which do not have learning as the goal – learning happens through play, music and many other activities
Should meet the needs of especially young people for a more experience oriented learning through the development of playful, interactive and social learning methods.
Learning is strengthened through the use of homework cafes, study places, open courses and experiment areas.
The learning space especially supports realisation (cognition)/experience and empowerment.Knud Schulz April 2016 15

Meeting space
An open, public space where citizens as a third space between home and work can meet others who are both as themselves and different from themselves
Arenaes, where you can meet other people with different interests and values and encounter opinions that challenge you through discussions and debate, are necessary
In the meeting space both non-committal, random encounters can take place through lounge décor with newspapers and café atmosphere as well as more organised meetings
This can take place both live and on the Internet in chatgroups, blogs or other social media.
The meeting space especially supports empowerment and engagement

Performative space
Users can interact with others for inspiration to create new creative expressions in the encounter with art and culture
Users can get access to tools that support their creative expressions through interactive games and writing-, sound-and video-workshops
The users can also get support in their creative expressions through workshops with professional artists, designers, multimedia developers etc.
Can act as a platform for communication by publishing and distributing the work and products of the users and by giving access to stages where users can perform and express themselves.
The performative space especially supports engagement and innovation.

Two tasks

New ways of defining the functionality
Flexibility is the functionality
Maximize unprogrammed space
Leave the media and mediaformats as the focuspoint in organizing the space
Focus the human needs og sociality – use the 4 space model
Knud Schulz April 2016 70
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
Knud Schulz April 2016 71
Interior plan
The interior planning reflects the 15 yearsexperience from projects together with partners and users
Lots of discussions with both libraryprofessionels and other diciplines
Experiencies from DK and other countries
The result is an ’interior medley’
Partners/users are the key to continuous change
Knud Schulz April 2016 72
Interior plan
The inside of Dokk1 consist of 4 different areas withno 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 beforeopening
Knud Schulz April 2016 73
Level 1 - adult
4 space model Experience Discover Participate Create
Combined with a wide learning definition wherelearning take place in different kinds of environments
Users are active participants and the library spacesupport their needs
Important: users can be on their own, together withothers with or without contact – inclusion factor++
