Rethinking Learning Spaces
Interior Architecture & Service Design
2024
Developed through a service design approach, the project combines user research, interviews, surveys, and spatial analysis to understand students' needs and improve their everyday experience.
Inspired by Alvar Aalto's human-centered design philosophy, the proposal integrates natural elements, adaptable furniture, and comfortable spaces that blur the boundaries between studying, socializing, and relaxation. The design introduces a balance of private, semi-public, and communal areas, encouraging well-being, interaction, and different ways of learning.
The project reimagines the library as more than a place for studying, transforming it into a welcoming environment where productivity, comfort, and well-being coexist.
