Seattle public library
The Seattle Public Library was designed by Rem Koolhaas and LMN Architects. It features an 11-level glass structure located in Seattle, Washington. The library's most distinctive feature is the book "spiral" - a continuous sloped surface with shelves that allows patrons easy access to materials. The interior is divided into zones including a parking area, public reading rooms, cafe, and main library space. The building's flexible and open design was meant to accommodate future expansions and innovations in information access.
Peckham Library Case Study
The Peckham Library in London was designed by Alsop Architects to revitalize the economically depressed area of Southwark and challenge stereotypes of libraries. The pre-patinated copper facade deters crime while allowing interior spaces filled with natural light. Pods and columns divide the interior into intimate reading nooks. Sustainability was prioritized through maximizing natural light, ventilation, and using low-maintenance materials. The striking and welcoming design has boosted the neighborhood's reputation.
TIANJIN BINHAI LIBRARY
The Tianjin Binhai Public Library in Tianjin, China designed by Dutch firm MVRDV looks like a giant eye from the outside. The five-story atrium is framed by staggered bookshelves that form the shape of an eye socket, with a spherical auditorium at the center acting as the pupil. The curving bookshelves provide seating areas for visitors and continue out across the glass facade to form sun shades. However, the tight construction schedule meant planned access to upper bookshelves from behind the atrium had to be dropped.

The document proposes building a new public library in South Jakarta to address the lack of public libraries and declining interest in reading. The 6-story library will be constructed in Kebayoran Baru and include facilities like a library area, office space, cafe, bookstore, ATM, mini-market, and photocopy center. It aims to improve public facilities and increase reading habits in the surrounding community through its concept as a green, modern library building.
Tama Art University Case Study and comparison with Peckham Library
Toyo Ito's Tama Art University Library is located in the suburbs of Tokyo. It is comprised of a series of concrete arches arranged in an irregular pattern driven by the slope of the surrounding landscape. The arches intersect to form slender columns that gently connect with the earth. Within the cavernous space created by the arches, the spaces are divided into a variety of functions allowing students to study or socialize. Natural light enters through the glass exterior walls and openings between the arches, extending the natural environment into the interior.

PreCast Construction
This document discusses precast concrete construction. Some key points:
- Precast concrete elements are cast and cured off-site then transported for assembly, allowing more efficient production and quality control.
- Elements include slabs, beams, columns, and wall panels that are joined on-site through embedded bolts, plates, and grouted connections.
- The precasting process involves casting concrete around prestressing strands to add strength, then cutting sections and transporting them for erection.

It discusses using the web to observe visitor behaviors, challenges with online sampling, and how museums are using social media for audience engagement rather than research. The document concludes by providing contact information for the course.
5.3 Musm7034 Conclusion
This document outlines the research process for a museum studies course, including identifying the needed information, developing a scope of work, carrying out research, and summarizing and applying the findings. It provides suggestions for starting with a small pilot study using standard measures to build a data bank, agreeing on outcomes to measure success, and considering the intended reporting audience. The document also covers organizing, analyzing, and presenting the data through reports, including comparisons, relevant findings, and implications.
Museum research methods
This document discusses various methods for observing visitor behavior and use of space in museums, including tracking individual visitor paths through floor plans, counting the number of people engaging with specific displays and how long they spend, and noting behaviors that suggest learning such as looking, reading, pointing and discussing with others. It emphasizes the importance of defining behaviors of interest based on desired learning outcomes and then observing whether those behaviors occur.
4.2 Observation Methods
This document discusses various methods for observing visitor behavior and use of space in museums, including tracking individual visitor paths through floor plans, counting the number of people engaging with specific displays and how long they spend, and noting behaviors that suggest learning such as looking, reading, pointing and discussing with others. It emphasizes identifying behaviors required to achieve desired learning outcomes and then observing whether visitors exhibit those behaviors.
4.3 Literature Review
This document discusses research methods for museums, including conducting a literature review and different types of evaluation research. It outlines that research aims to collect information, describe findings, and explore new perspectives to inform planning and communication, while evaluation makes judgements against criteria to assess appropriateness, effectiveness, and efficiency. The document also lists different types of exhibition evaluation that can be done at the front end, during development, after issues arise, at completion, and post-occupancy.
4.1 Observation Intro
This document provides an overview of topics to be covered in Week 4 of a Museum Research Methods course, including a review of concepts, assignments, and focus readings. It introduces the topics of confounding variables, the difference between correlation and causation, and issues of sample selection and size to ensure a representative sample. Key concepts are that confounding variables can obscure the relationship between two variables, correlation does not necessarily imply causation, and samples must be selected and sized properly to represent the whole population.
4.2 Observation Methods
This document discusses various methods for observing visitor behavior and use of space in museums, including tracking individual visitor paths through floor plans, counting the number of people engaging with specific displays and how long they spend, and noting behaviors that suggest learning such as looking, reading, pointing and discussing with others. It emphasizes the importance of defining behaviors of interest based on desired learning outcomes and then observing whether those behaviors occur.
3.1 Qual Intro
This document discusses qualitative research methods for museum projects. It introduces qualitative research as exploratory research aimed at deeper understanding from the subject's point of view using small, in-depth samples. Common qualitative methods are described briefly, including focus groups, interviews, case studies, ethnography, and online discussions. Issues of validity, current practices, and interview/group dynamics are also covered at a high level.
3.2 Audience Segmentation
This document discusses different methods for segmenting museum audiences, including demographic, geographic, behavioral, and psychographic segmentation. Demographic segmentation looks at attributes like age, gender, income, and family status. Geographic segmentation examines factors such as location. Behavioral segmentation analyzes behaviors like repeat visits or program participation. Psychographic segmentation uses personality traits from the Five Factor Model, known as OCEAN, which stands for Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The document provides examples of questions and segments related to these methods.
2.4 Data Analysis
This document outlines the process for analyzing data collected from museum visitors including data processing, analysis, and reporting. It discusses editing data, coding responses, analyzing results through cross-tabulations and comparisons, and presenting findings through summary graphs, tables, and comparisons to other data. The document also notes different types of museum experiences and provides instructions for an online survey assignment.
2.3 Interviewing
The document discusses best practices for conducting interviews for museum research. It recommends either outsourcing interviews to a professional firm or conducting them in-house. When doing interviews in-house, the document advises recruiting and training casual employees or volunteers to conduct the interviews. Proper training involves teaching interview basics and techniques over several hours with practice sessions. Interviewers should make eye contact, ask questions clearly, probe without leading respondents, and ensure answers are specific and detailed. The document also provides an example of a brief "coffee cart survey" to illustrate how to plan an interview project.
2.2 Discussion
The paper examines the relationship between visitor satisfaction, intention to return, and intention to recommend based on a survey conducted at a small metropolitan museum. It finds that exhibition experience was the main driver of satisfaction. Those who reported being highly satisfied also reported higher intentions to return and recommend. Older and less educated visitors tended to report higher satisfaction. The measures of satisfaction, intention to return, and intention to recommend were found to be strongly correlated, suggesting they may essentially be measuring the same underlying sentiment toward the museum experience.
2.1 Quant Intro
This document discusses quantitative research methods for museum projects. It covers when quantitative data is needed, such as for audience profiling, trends analysis, and reporting to funders. It also discusses common quantitative methods like interviews, surveys, and online/mail surveys. The document provides guidance on designing effective questionnaires, including determining what to ask, question wording and order, and sample sizes. It concludes with an exercise to design a questionnaire to understand usage of a museum coffee cart.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
