How Humanity-Centered Design Reshapes the Future Learning Experience of Public Area in Transition - presentation by Sheng-Hung Lee, Designer and Professor at Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts, at Future of Design Summit 2019:
The Future Learning Experience of Public Area – Redesign Shanghai Library Innovation Space is a project based on humanity-centered thinking that covers every aspect of the Shanghai Library Innovation Space (the Space), from the individual, product, organization, and space, to the service and experience it offers.

A more enriching learning experience for readers in turn testifies to librarians’ greater role in this process.
The Space has always been the benchmark in the exploration of innovation space for Chinese libraries. Yet in face of market change, consumer trade-up, industrial transformation and technological advances, it has to reposition itself in order to maintain its leading role in the practice of library innovation by delivering better experience for both its users and librarians through culture rebuilding, all the while following the Shanghai Library’s mission of “providing excellent knowledge services”.
