Abstract:
This study aims to redesign the layout of the Bangka Belitung State Polytechnic of
Manufacturing (POLMANBABEL) library to improve user comfort and
productivity. The main issues raised are the limited library space of only 144 m2 out
of a total building area of 675 m2, and the suboptimal layout and interior design in
supporting learning and discussion activities. This study uses a qualitative method
with a field study approach and visual document analysis. The results of the analysis
show that the comfort of a space is greatly influenced by circulation, furniture
layout, and the visual identity of the space. Therefore, the redesign was carried out
using a Modern Coastal style approach that combines elements of the local culture
of Bangka Belitung and modern design principles. This design includes clear
zoning of the space, the use of ergonomic materials, and aesthetic elements that
support a conducive learning atmosphere. This research is expected to serve as a
reference in the development of library designs that are not only functional but also
represent local identity and enhance the user experience.
