Book Storage Design - Research Proposal Example

Age-specific shelving height is recommended. Although full-size shelving is originally preferred, yet full-size shelving should be minimized as per the reader benefit scheme. In case of full size shelving suitable retractable ladders to be provided. Movable shelving is instructed to allow future space reconfiguration; Shelving is installed after the carpeting is over. To give entry to full focus of light and to avoid any blockage in this regard, book shelving located around the perimeter walls is highly justified.

Materials:      High Quality Mahogany and Teak wood are the original materials specified. A simple and neat approach creates a more trendy atmosphere. Specifications to Follow:- Picture/thin: 20 books per foot / 60 books per shelf Standard size: 10 books per foot / 30 books per shelf Reference books: 6 books per foot / 18 books per shelf Periodicals: 1 per foot for display purposes To evolve how many linear feet of shelving are required for a collection, take the total number of volumes and divide by the number of books per foot.

Hence in case of a primary collection of 5,000 volumes consisting of picture and thin books would require a total of 250 linear feet of shelving. It is expected that shelves should only be two-thirds full. To allow for this, the number of linear feet required is to be multiplied by 1.33. Color: Bottle green with yellow borders will give a sunny new look and will attract subjects. Subject or Topic Specific Headings, e.g., “History, “Geography” is a must and inclusion within the wood architecture should be made as such be evident in Gold platted name plates.

Color-specific decoration in addition to subject-wise tabulation in the book shelves adds charm to the whole structure. Location and Assessment of Cost: The cost per unit is estimated to be 8,000 pounds. Hence the cost for 100 units will be 100X 8000 pounds, i.e., 8, 00,000 pounds. The transportation and other prerequisite-expenditure is estimated to be 10,000 pounds. Hence the total cost can be summarized to be 8, 10,000 pounds. Arguments to Support Negotiation: Have chosen very superior quality and texture for sustainability and increased longevity of the said product.

Hence the cost could come up to higher than the common run-of-the-mill products, but will surely give a very high warranty of product sustenance and as well glorify the multi national look to the entire set up. Location of Manufacturing Facility: Since the woods suggested are available from Asian origin mostly hence the transportation cost is higher though the factor of stability is undoubtedly stronger than that available in the local market. Hence the overall additional expenditure is estimated to be 10,000 pounds.

Distribution:   The warehouse equipment and installation needs to be taken care as per the storage logistics by professionals. While placing the book storage full availability of light and space management should be kept in mind and calculated accordingly Advantage: This design puts a Premium on initiative and innovation A motivated public service Issues easily available on hand Enhanced Information tools easily available on hand Green color is selected to evolve the environment-friendly atmosphere as well as a sunny look and feel is outlined with bright yellow border.

Attractive yet classic design increases the weightage and invites more readers in the library.Conclusion:    The Books stored in the Book storage would not only be arranged according to subject line but also could be made decorative by arranging the books as per color code. The Book Storage designed as such speaks of high quality, sustainability, fashionable, trendy as well as pertaining to all aspects of storage logistics. As we are proceeding towards artificial intelligence and virtual reality the ready made book storage facility is becoming more high tech and user friendly.

Now, we staunchly believe in the ideals of Bhagavad-Gita where it is mentioned that [2] “With right understanding, one need not renounce actions but merely the desire (kama) for the fruits of actions, acting without desire (nishkama karma).”[2] Appendices: The Design Matrix: Book Storage Design 1
