    Microlibrary Warak Kayu
    High quality plywood

    Project Concept
    The concept of the Warak Kayu Microlibrary
    stemmed from the lack of reading facilities
    in Indonesia. There was a realisation that the
    illiteracy rate in Indonesia was high and a
    plan needed to be put in place to address
    these issues. Architecture firm SHAU based
    in Rotterdam put forward a project proposal
    to make learning attractive, this prompted
    the 2012 ‘100 Microlibraries’ program. The
    idea was to make the libraries as aesthetically
    pleasing as possible in the hopes to bring a
    certain enthusiasm back for learning again
    within local communities in Indonesia.
    The first library build was a big success and it
    The first microlibrary ‘Taman Bima’ was built prompted four more structures to be built with
    on a stage in a public square. The location the same purpose in mind.
    was easily accessible and stands out in such
    an open space. The walls of Taman Bima Warak Kayu, situated in Semarang, Central Java
    were the main focal point in this project as City functions as a library and a mini community
    they were built from 2,000 recycled plastic centre. The structure is the fifth in the
    ice-cream containers which not only brings a microlibrary series that SHAU have designed. This
    uniqueness to the structure but also adds the project is a gift from Arkatama Isvara
    important element of sustainability. Foundation to the city of Semarang. The sheet
    material used in this project is Performance
    Plywood®, a product concept which is the result
    of collaborative work between PT Kayu Lapis
    Indonesia and Hanson Plywood in the UK.

    Product Specification

    Hanson Plywood strongly advocate that construction/architectural specifications should be


    satisfied with products that are fit-for-purpose after considering the actual application and
    the particular performance criteria required. With this in mind, the company developed a
    product with Kayu Lapis that is specifically intended for the construction industry and offers
    full technical and environmental classifications.

    Performance Plywood® was therefore chosen by SHAU architects as a product which would
    reliably meet the criteria required for a high-performance panel which may be exposed to
    the elements over a long period of time.

    Design Process Various types of wood products/species were used
    during the construction in order to ensure
    Warak Kayu is constructed primarily from sustainability.
    timber based products, this decision was
    made by what is known as a ‘Bottom-up Wood in general outperforms many other
    process’ which means all the materials construction materials due to the embodied
    are evaluated first and once the products energy, water, air pollution, carbon footprint and it
    were chosen, the overall design was also regenerates naturally. Performance Plywood is
    developed from this basis. certified fully legal under Indonesia’s SVLK Timber
    Legality Assurance System which is the only system
    No air conditioning is used so the in the world that is recognised by a Voluntary
    structure was to involve elements of a Partnership Agreement (VPA) with the EU,
    passive climactic design. Semarang also meaning it can carry a FLEGT (Forest Law
    has a tropical monsoon season which Enforcement, Governance and Trade) Licence. In
    naturally brings humidity to the area. addition to this, the product is also certified FSC®
    The building is therefore cooled down by 100%.
    means of cross-ventilation and solar heat
    is prevented from entering by the use of
    shading elements. All these aspects were
    to be taken into account in the initial
    design planning processes and a need for
    a fit-for-purpose plywood that could
    withstand dry, humid and wet conditions
    was identified as a priority. Performance
    Plywood® was the ideal solution for this
    project.

    All wooden elements of this project were


    prefabricated at the factory and then transported
    to the site to minimise noise and dust. This
    process also mitigated any damaging impact
    to the surrounding environment on-site. More
    precision went into the cutting of the materials
    in the factory as it was carried out by trained
    professionals under higher safety standards
    which ultimately led to a safer/easier
    construction process.
