二、講題摘要 Abstract

《公共圖書館的重新定位：以奧斯陸公共圖書館-Deichman為例》

奧斯陸公共圖書館成立於 1785 年，由 22 個圖書館組成。在過去的6年中，該市幾乎所有的分館都進行了大規模的升級和翻新。設計過程的核心精神在於高度重視社會互動，以及為社區創造“公共生活空間”。這一系列的發展重新定位了城市中的圖書館，使它們比以往任何時候都更加相關。 2020 年 6 月，隨著新中央圖書館 20.000 平方米的大型 Deichman Bjørvika 的啟用，此發展則達到了高峰。儘管受到全球疫情的影響，Deichman Bjørvika 已經達成了每年 200 萬人次的目標。在本次講座中，Knut Skansen館長之重點將放在空間的設計和發展過程以及員工能力、技術使用和讀者參與的變化上。在講座的最後，Knut Skansen館長將為大家說明奧斯陸公共圖書館未來幾年的主要發展策略方向。

Oslo public library, founded in 1785, consists of 22 libraries. During the last 6 years, almost all branch in the city have undergone an extensive upgrade and refurbishment. At the core of the design process is strong focus on social interaction and creating “public living rooms” for the communities. The development has repositioned the libraries in the city and made them more relevant than ever. This development culminated with the opening of the 20.000 square meters big Deichman Bjørvika, the new central library, in June 2020. Deichman Bjørvika has already reached the goal of 2 million visits per year despite the effects of the pandemic. In this lecture, the focus will be on the design process and development of the rooms as well as the change in staff competence, use of technology and user involvement. At the end of the lecture, I will draw up the major strategic lines for Oslo Public library for the next years.
