Design Of Children Library Focusing On Safety Aspects In Klaten, Central Java

Abstract

Designing a library for children is a good innovation as a place to build a reading culture since childhood. Since children’s way of learning is different from the adult, the children’s library has different design characteristics from the public library. One of the function that need to be considered is safety space. This aspect is accomodating children that love fun learning and mostly respond and move actively while learning. The quality of safety in the design will be part of the success factor of the children’s library. The challenge of this design is to meet the needs of children through design in aspects of safety and comfort based on the general behaviors of children aged 6-12 years, such as activeness, high curiosity, and concern in socializing.
