Audio-Spatial Co-design of Library Spaces Implications from Case: Vantaa

This paper discusses the systematic audio-spatial co-design processes implemented in four units of the Vantaa City Library in Finland. Using service design and co-design methods, staff and customers created together new library space designs which fit the needs of both current and potential future library patrons. Through the use of these techniques, customer experiences were significantly improved while the operational costs of each unit were reduced. The paper discusses these design processes through case examples and then makes suggestions for implementing such low cost, high impact changes also elsewhere.

本文探讨了芬兰万塔市图书馆四个分馆所落地的系统化音频-空间协同设计（audio-spatial co-design）流程。该流程依托服务设计与协同设计方法，由馆员与读者共同打造适配当前及未来潜在读者需求的全新图书馆空间设计方案。通过应用此类方法，各分馆的用户体验得到显著提升，同时各馆的运营成本亦得以降低。随后，本文通过案例分析阐述了上述设计流程，并为在其他场景推广此类低成本高影响力的变革方案提供了建议。
