Brief 4 - Ministry of Wonderful

I picked library.

Initial thoughts:
  • Libraries are boring
  • Libraries are quiet
  • People don't really want to go to/hang out at a library
  • Libraries look really clinical/ old.
  • How can I change that?

I remember this from my home town:
http://www.getitloudinlibraries.com/

Whilst they tried, it was done really badly. It was literally some gigs in a bog standard library.


I wanted to take it further than that. Moving away from the stereotypical 'quiet space' that libraries usually are.

Nothing dull. Using gigs to make libraries seem like a cool place to hang out.

Serve food and drinks, hold exhibitions, talks, readings and gigs.

Less clinical interior.

Make a library more into a hub for information and learning. 

Things that will make you use all yr senses.

Library, exhibitions, talks, gigs, cafe, headphone room...
