万众瞩目的Marrickville图书馆兼展览馆已于今年8月开放。该项目由BVN事务所设计，融合了前沿的科技与可持续性，是一个多元、开放、包容的全新社区空间。“为了迎合Marrickville这个多样化的社区，新图书馆在满足人们好奇心、为居民提供学习地点的同时，也可以用于举办许多大型公共活动。”BVN的项目总监Brian Clohessy说。

The much-anticipated BVN designed Marrickville Library and Pavilion opened in August 2019. The new library is a diverse and accessible community space, with a cutting-edge design incorporating technology and sustainability. “Catering to Marrickville’s diverse community, the new library will be a place for curiosity and learning. It will allow for a range of great community activities and public events,” said BVN Project Director Brian Clohessy.

▼项目概览，overview

图书馆位于一座历史悠久的建筑当中，曾经是Marrickville医院。既有建筑在经过翻新之后成为了新图书馆的一部分。该地点现被称为Patyegarang Place，位于Marrickville和Livingstone路的拐角处。规模宏大的折叠式屋顶模仿了旧医院的设计，看起来就像是悬浮于道路上方。细长的木柱支撑着屋顶的大部分，同时还提供了一条通向相连道路和小径的隐蔽通道。街道旁有一块占地1200平方米、装饰着公共艺术品的下沉式草坪。在这里，人们可以远离公路噪音短暂休憩。草坪连接着图书馆的主入口、展馆和一家由Double Roasters经营的咖啡馆。

Once the home of the old Marrickville Hospital, the heritage building has been retained and restored as part of the new library works. The site, now known as Patyegarang Place, is located on the corner of Marrickville and Livingstone Roads. An oversized folding roof, emulating the old Hospital roof behind, acts as an exclamation point for the main public forecourt on Marrickville Road. Elongated timber columns support large sections of the floating roof and provide sheltered public thoroughfares to the connecting roads and smaller lanes on the site. Below street level sits a 1200m² landscaped, sunken-lawn with public artworks. This space provides an oasis, a sanctuary from the noise of the surrounding main roads. The lawns connect to the main library entrance, the Pavilion and café run by Double Roasters.
