The New Media Library


The basis of these diagrams is the 'book box' system that our teammates in Hong Kong have come up with. In focusing on a New Media archetype, we have decided to include the physical side of media, by allowing each individual a box. This limits the library collection (due to spatial constraints), and allows each individual their own space within the library. This may be expanded over a number of years to create a larger collection.



We have also decided to incorporate the digital theme into our Library programme. This is mainly focused on the creation of original work, such as art, music, poetry, research and literature. This is freely accessed by the community, and if it is rated highly enough then the author of the work may be asked to demonstrate their knowledge publicly. The 'Library' will include facilities for the production of all these works, as well as spaces to present and exhibit the shared knowledge.
