Slash is the new black

Slash is a brand new library space for Toi Shan Association College — but it's much more than a library.

The name ""Slash"" originates from Marci Alboher's 2007 book titled One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success which delineates the phenomenon of slash in our contemporary society. From naming to spatial design, Slash embodies the concept of slash lifestyle as a space for library/exhibition/new media. Through versatile design and distinct branding, the library is transformed from a traditional single use space that is increasingly outdated to a multi-use learning hub where students of different ages can enjoy interaction and leisure time, as well as discover their way of learning.

關於Slash，我們說的是……

Slash 為台山商會中學全新的「圖書館」空間設施，而它並不只是一個圖書館。

Slash 這個名字源自於美國作家馬爾基．阿爾伯爾（Marci Alboher）於 2007 年出版的著作 One Person／Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work／Life Success，描述了現今世代的對多元生活的追求。
由命名到空間設計，Slash 貫徹對多元生活的追求，我們將它設計成不只是一個圖書館，同時也可作為展覽及新媒體內容的展示空間。圖書館作為不同級別同學共同學習的地方，Slash 模糊了空間唯一功能的界線，同時提供專注與休閒一體的環境。
通過多變的空間設計和品牌建立，將圖書館這個逐漸被遺忘的傳統的空間設施，賦予一個全新形象和使用方式，加強學生之間的互動交流，鼓勵同學發揮創意，創造合適自己的學習空間。

Slash 空間規劃
1. The Gallery –– 鼓勵同學策劃不同展覽，展示創意。
2. 分享區 –– 邀請社會賢達交流分享。
3. The Screen –– 展示動態影像，亦為本校的視像會議室
