TU Delft Library is reimagining its iconic book wall into the Collection Wall, an interactive platform that harnesses digital innovation to inspire exploration, discovery, and serendipity. By integrating AI, data visualisation, and heritage collections, this project addresses the evolving needs of learners and researchers, linking physical and digital collections to broader knowledge networks.

The Collection Wall embodies impact by fostering inclusion and accessibility while advancing cultural and educational enrichment. Developed collaboratively with students and faculty, prototypes connect collections to trending topics in research, education, and social media. User feedback guides iterative design, ensuring the platform evolves with community needs while promoting sustainable digital practices. The project also actively explores ways to make digital experiences welcoming and engaging for diverse audiences.

My presentation will explore the Collection Wall as a tool for fostering collaboration, enhancing accessibility, and advancing knowledge-sharing across sectors. By sharing prototypes and co-design approaches, I aim to inspire dialogue on how digital innovation can create meaningful connections and lasting community benefits, contributing to the Paorangi / Impact theme of NDF 2025.
