The study aims to redesign the traditional and uninspiring Amjad Library in the Sultanate of Oman, transforming it into a modern facility with a coffee shop, various seating areas, and meeting rooms. This library suffers from poor organization and lacks a specialized collection of books. It offers school supplies and stationery, sells only books, and lacks seating areas and other amenities, which detracts from the visitor experience. This redesign aims to make the library more attractive by providing an environment that suits the modern generation and meets their needs. Additionally, it highlights the significance of the library’s design and layout for the visitor experience and how the redesign will enable the library to cater to a broader audience. The addition of the coffee shop will complement the library’s primary purpose. The library will accommodate approximately 80–90 visitors at a time, allowing for comfortable movement, with a target age of 15 years and above. Visitors will have an immersive experience in this library. This project not only aligns with the goals of the Oman Vision 2040, which promotes education and innovation to enhance the quality of life, but also makes a significant contribution to its realization. In conclusion, the proposed project will create a modern and sustainable environment that inspires individuals and visitors to experience the bookstore in a new and enhanced way, thereby fostering a sense of cultural identity in Oman.

摘要

The study aims to redesign the traditional and uninspiring Amjad Library in the Sultanate of Oman, transforming it into a modern facility with a coffee shop, various seating areas, and meeting rooms. This library suffers from poor organization and lacks a specialized collection of books. It offers school supplies and stationery, sells only books, and lacks seating areas and other amenities, which detracts from the visitor experience. This redesign aims to make the library more attractive by providing an environment that suits the modern generation and meets their needs. Additionally, it highlights the significance of the library’s design and layout for the visitor experience and how the redesign will enable the library to cater to a broader audience. The addition of the coffee shop will complement the library’s primary purpose. The library will accommodate approximately 80–90 visitors at a time, allowing for comfortable movement, with a target age of 15 years and above. Visitors will have an immersive experience in this library. This project not only aligns with the goals of the Oman Vision 2040, which promotes education and innovation to enhance the quality of life, but also makes a significant contribution to its realization. In conclusion, the proposed project will create a modern and sustainable environment that inspires individuals and visitors to experience the bookstore in a new and enhanced way, thereby fostering a sense of cultural identity in Oman.
