Problem: In April 2019 HJIS will open the new Media Centre and currently it is a big empty space and not ready for use.
Design Brief: Your task is to research Media Centres, Libraries, Interior Design, Architecture and, matching with the current and future needs of the HJIS Staff and Students, create a well-designed space that enhances learning and creativity. Students reflect on how the built environment has a large hand in subconsciously shaping how we feel, and therefore how we act. Students design this space so it has a positive effect on the user's feelings and behaviour. Students create a scale architectural model that showcases this new space.
