Zen Archivist
The Design Decision
Rare book preservation is a game of Environmental Stability. While the AI focused on GPS location tracking, my redesign prioritizes the "Chemical Clock." Heat and humidity damage books permanently; a delay in transport is only temporary.
To bridge the gap between digital utility and physical artifact, I adopted a "Paper & Ink" aesthetic. Replacing the AI's standard gradients with a tactile, organic background reduces eye strain, while the stark, high-contrast serif typography mirrors the timeless authority of the manuscripts being preserved.
The archivist needs to see the Condition (Temp/Humidity) to feel calm, because environmental damage is permanent and irreversible.
Maximize negative space to isolate high-priority data and eliminate visual clutter, creating a focused environment that prevents user fatigue.
The user is here to act, legally "closing the loop" by signing off on safety logs and confirming the chain of custody.
