Abstract

In the recent years, regional libraries in Surabaya have been encouraged to support Gerakan Literasi Nasional (GLN), a national program to cultivate literacy in Indonesia. One of the potential libraries is the Herbal Library on Nginden Jangkungan Street in Surabaya that provides various active literacy activities through a literacy stage facility. However, this facility was lacking identity in terms of visual and spatial character and more sub-facilities were needed to accommodate activities for performing, presenting, conducting workshops and other literacy activities. This research aims to redesign the literacy stage facility of Herbal Library Nginden with Regionalism approach combined with Co-design method, to implement the regional identity and community potentials into the designing process and result. The Co-design method is a collaborative designing process between designers and the community to produce designs that truly answer the needs, transfer knowledge and create a sense of ownership. The result of this study is an iconic design of a literacy stage that could accommodate the flexibility of literacy activities while representing the local culture of the community in terms of visual and spatial character. Regionalism approach was adopted through the implementation of natural elements (leaves, bamboo, red ginger, etc) originating from the herbal librarys site, crafts from plastic waste that were co-designed with the communitys art works, and the use of Javanese language and culture. Through this research design project, hopefully the design intervention product can support Herbal Library Nginden Jangkungan to become new literacy icon in Surabaya.
