Interior design of public library of arts, design and creative industries in Jakarta

Abstract

To strengthen the basis of this industry, President Joko Widodo established a new non-ministerial institution called IACE (Indonesian Agency of Creative Economy)/BEKRAF. One of IACE's missions was to open insight and appreciate everything related to the creative economy. It could be done by establishing a library. Under the IACE license, the library was set up to acknowledge and value all aspects of the creative industry itself. However, some of Indonesia's libraries were lack of concerning design standards, customer needs, and aesthetical aspects. Therefore, those problems will be solved through design by doing this research. This research used a design thinking action research approach suitable to determine design objectives because it combined two kinds of thinking; analysis and creativity. By using that method, this research could solve any problems related to all libraries in Indonesia. In order to be accessible by people, public space should be created. This is done so that the library of art, design and creative industries can function optimally. The educational process that takes place in it can run well, and become a comfortable educational home for its users.
