appeared very excited or as it is known: “instagrammable”. Millenials will always stay at a place
for a long time if get they are instagrammable sites. Instagrammable pictures can be realized via
an interesting interior pattern.
Based on student respondents at Telkom University, an area that is considered quite interesting
and instagrammable is the middle area of Openlib Tel-U due to its stair and ramp that connect it
to the mezzanine, the birdcage area, the colors used, and the corner reading area. The middle area
of the Openlib Tel-U is the first area that vistor enters into. The circulation in the service room
is radial, and its counter table is marked by a curve as a focal point. The stair and ramp on the
left side has a stair and ramp is seen as an instagrammable spot because its radial pattern is quite
interesting. The use of the green artificial grass floor covering provides a connection to a futuristic
green concept.
The entrance of the book collection area also has an instagrammable design. Besides the function
as an access to the reading room in the upper floor, the stair can be used as a seat. The red color
on the cushions is in contrast with the reading room area. This is the focal point, so the sub-stair is
used as a photo spot area.
The birdcage area is shaped as a radial area that is made similar to a birdcage by using iron pipe
and finished a white color. It is an area for browsing the internet and is very memorable and always
remembered by librarians because it is unique and instangrammable.
The discussion rooms are available for visitor use and and the sizes of the rooms vary. Each
room uses a different color and features inspirational quotes on the wall. By using a fresh color,
it makes the atmosphere of the discussion room more lively. Color plays an important role and
has the extraordinary power to remove emotionality. The colorful discussion rooms are also photo
spots used by the students.
4 CONCLUSION
The library at a university provides a big contribution to the provision of learning resources and
information access for the academic community. A library with adaptable and instagrammable
concept for the interior can create an interesting, and not monotonous, atmosphere. The use of fresh
color and a curved shape concept for furniture and Openlib the Tel-U layout become important
aspects of creating a fun learning atmosphere. Variation in learning areas provide college students
with a way to obtain an alternative are for reading book or taking a test. Therefore, the interior of the
library can support “work–leisure-learning”, which is very suitable for the millennial generation.
It is the hope that all of this will attract students to visit the library more often.
