Integrating BIM Technology for Multi-Dimensional Spatial Design: Transforming Public Libraries into Hubs for Sports and Community Engagement

Abstract

Public libraries serve as dynamic environments that integrate physical and virtual spaces, such as the building's architectural design, interior venue spaces, and virtual library platforms. With the integration of sports and community-focused activities, these spaces can become hubs for engagement and physical well-being. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in architectural planning and design enhances the structural integrity and spatial layout of libraries, enabling the creation of multi-dimensional spatial models that support diverse uses, including sports and recreational activities. BIM technology facilitates visualization and simulation across various construction phases, enabling scientific planning and design refinement. By translating abstract design elements into graphical models, BIM supports collaboration among design teams, allowing them to identify and rectify design inefficiencies. This technology proves particularly valuable in developing multi-dimensional spaces within public libraries, incorporating areas for sports, fitness, and community activities alongside traditional library functions. This paper explores the critical role of BIM technology in public library design, emphasizing its principles and applications in creating versatile, multi-functional spaces. The study highlights how BIM-driven planning supports the integration of sports and recreational features into library environments, fostering engagement and community well-being. Through this approach, public libraries can evolve into comprehensive community centers that promote both intellectual growth and physical activity.
