悉尼利物浦市位于乔治河与坎伯兰平原之间，这里对于澳大利亚第一民族以及殖民历史都具有重要意义。如今，利物浦是澳大利亚民族最多元化的地区之一。这种多元性在一个和谐共生的社区中得到了自豪的庆祝与展现。Yellamundie——利物浦市图书馆与美术馆，是利物浦市民广场的核心，该片区正在推动利物浦中央商务区（CBD）的振兴。图书馆及其周边区域为这个正在迅速被高层住宅和商业开发重塑的区域提供了宝贵的公共空间。坐落于主街道及步行街的尽头，Yellamundie吸引着人们穿行于充满活力的多元文化商店和餐饮场所之间。

Sydney’s Liverpool City lies between the Georges River and Cumberland Plain, a place important to Australia’s First People and its colonial history. Today Liverpool is one of the most ethnically diverse regions in Australia. This diversity is proudly celebrated in a community that thrives in harmony. Yellamundie – Liverpool City Library & Gallery, is the heart of Liverpool Civic Place, a precinct revitalising Liverpool’s CBD. The library and its surrounds provide public space in an area that is rapidly transforming with high rise homes and businesses. Sitting at the end of the main street and pedestrian mall, it draws the community through vibrant multicultural shops and eateries.

▼项目概览，overview of the project

利物浦市民广场位于中央商务区南端，通过整合零散地块，形成了一个统一的市民目的地。以公共广场为核心，新图书馆、市政办公室以及未来的大学校园建筑通过共享的公共空间和开放、通透且与场地紧密相连的建筑语言实现了统一。Yellamundie图书馆体现了当代公共图书馆的新模式——在传统知识与服务的基础上，融合了文化参与、数字科技与社区互动。

Strategically located at the southern edge of the CBD, Liverpool Civic Place consolidates fragmented sites into a coherent civic destination. Anchored by the public square, the new library, council offices, and future university campus buildings are unified through a shared public domain and architectural language that promotes openness, permeability and connection to place. Yellamundie Library reflects a contemporary model for public libraries – where access to knowledge and traditional services combine with cultural engagement, digital technology, and community participation.

利物浦市民广场Liverpool Civic Palace

在原市政大楼毁于火灾之后，市议会把握机会，在利物浦主街南端开发了新的场地。北边是购物中心，南边则是新的市民广场。一个以利物浦自然景观为灵感、独具一格的21世纪图书馆，与景观化的市民空间、市政办公及行政设施相结合，打造出一个全新的市民中心。未来阶段将引入零售业态、短期住宿及大学校园租户，进一步丰富利物浦中央商务区规划中的多元城市功能。

After Liverpool’s Civic building was destroyed by fire, Council identified the opportunity to develop a new site to activate the southern end of Liverpool’s main street. The shopping mall to the north, and a new Civic Square to its south. A new 21C library, unique to the City of Liverpool and inspired by its natural landscape, combines with landscaped civic space, council facilities and administration to create a new civic place. A later stage will bring a range of activating retail, short stay accommodation and university campus tenants, further reinforcing a rich array of uses within the dense urban environment planned for Liverpool’s CBD.

▼项目外观，exterior view of the project

利物浦最独特、最美丽的地貌特征，莫过于乔治河那条温柔而宽广的曲线。在欧洲人到来之前，这里被称为 Tuggerah。它滋养并连接了无数世代的社区，成为人们生活、工作、家庭与娱乐的中心。新建的弧形图书馆Yellamundie，正是受河流流动形态启发而设计。正如河水的弯曲流动既有静谧也有动感，新的图书馆也通过空间的层次与流动性，创造了多样而富有活力的公共空间。图书馆坐落于绿树成荫的麦考瑞街（Macquarie Street）尽头，流畅的曲线形态引导人群向南穿行，引发步行流动，将人们自然引向市民广场与图书馆温暖敞开的入口，并进一步延伸至特米纳斯街（Terminus Street）。

▼场地平面，site plan

Perhaps the most distinctive and beautiful feature of Liverpool is the gentle and generous curve of the Georges River. Before the arrival of Europeans, it was known as Tuggerah. It has carried and sustained its communities and created a focal point for life and work, family and play for generations. The new curvilinear library, Yellamundie, is inspired by the river’s flow. As its sustaining arc creates eddies both calm and dynamic, so too the layers and flow of the new library create diverse spaces for everyone. Positioned at the end of tree-lined Macquarie Street, the curved form draws people south, inviting pedestrian flow and movement around it and through the new, walkable landscaped space to the welcoming entries of the Civic Building and Library, and beyond to Terminus Street.

避开街道的喧嚣，建筑设有一对鲜明的入口，分别赋予市民大楼与图书馆互补又独立的身份。市民大楼宽阔的拱门呼应了当地Greenway式历史建筑的传统，将开放空间的几何线条延伸入门厅，与上方的议事厅形成连接。利物浦市民广场和Yellamundie图书馆项目实现了城市环境的深度转型，重塑了利物浦的市民心脏地带，提供了重要的社会基础设施、公共空间、增强了城市连通性，并为社区注入了新的活力。

Set back from the noise of the street and offering safe spaces to gather, a distinct pair of entries create separate but complementary identities. The civic building’s generous arch celebrates the heritage of Greenway’s local buildings, extending the geometries of the open space into the foyer and connecting with the integrated council chambers above.The Liverpool Civic Place and Yellamundie Library project has delivered transformative urban outcomes, reshaping Liverpool’s civic heart by providing critical social infrastructure, offering civic space, improved connectivity, and a community heart for Liverpool.

该项目在利物浦的城市更新中扮演着关键角色，激活了主街道南端，强化了城市的市民身份。市议会极具战略性的选址，使得原有零散、过时的设施得以通过新建图书馆、市政大楼与市民广场，转变为一个热情开放、标志性鲜明的公共枢纽。项目重新定义并优先考虑了步行动线，确保了利物浦中央商务区与更广泛城市网络之间的无缝连接。通过重新构想CBD的边界，利物浦市民广场成为城市更新的催化剂，在经历快速增长的区域中，平衡了开放空间与社区基础设施的配置，展示了公共建筑在塑造与强化不断演变城市中的巨大潜力。

The project plays a key role in Liverpool’s urban regeneration, activating the southern end of its main street and strengthening its civic identity. The Council’s highly strategic selection of site allows disconnected and outdated facilities to be replaced by a new library, civic building and square, offering a welcoming and highly visible public anchor. Positioned at the southern end of Macquarie Street, the development redefines and priorities pedestrian movement, ensuring seamless integration between Liverpool’s CBD and broader urban network. By re-imagining Liverpool’s CBD boundary, Liverpool Civic Place serves as a catalyst for urban renewal, balancing open space and critical community assets to create breathing space in an area experiencing exponential growth and demonstrates the potential of public architecture to shape and strengthen an evolving city.

Yellamundie图书馆Yellamundie Library

“Yellamundie”一词源自当地原住民语言，意为“讲故事的人”，既彰显了利物浦第一民族的重要地位，也体现了图书馆在不同社区之间传递故事、促进交流的角色。图书馆室内与周边景观设计呼应了坎伯兰平原的色彩与纹理。

▼一层平面，ground floor plan

The name Yellamundie is the local First Nations word for storyteller, reflecting both the importance of Liverpool’s First People, and the role of the library in sharing stories for all communities. The interior of the library and aligned landscape reflects the colours and patterns of the Cumberland Plain.

这座椭圆形建筑四面通透，故意消除界限，邀请每一个人步入其中，参与其中。夜晚时分，内部的灯光透过立面柔和溢出，建筑成为社区活动的明亮焦点。图书馆内充满了由馆方及社区伙伴共同策划的各类活动，也为人们提供了放松、学习与交流的空间。设有专门的创意、文化遗产、科技接入及无障碍体验区域，吸引了更广泛的受众。通过由社区主导的展览，Yellamundie进一步加深了市民的归属感和参与感，庆祝利物浦丰富多元的故事。

The oval building is deliberately transparent from all sides, inviting all to come in and be part of the visible activity, which is highlighted as the interior glows through the façade at night.

Spaces are active with programs run by the library and community partners, and also with people seeking a place to relax, study and meet. Specialist spaces for creativity, heritage, technology access and accessibility activities are engaging wider audiences. Ownership and engagement have been strengthened with community led exhibitions that celebrate the diverse stories of Liverpool.

Yellamundie已成为社区自豪感的象征，也是利物浦抱负的体现。项目与市议会及社区密切合作，避免了审美上的等级区分或文化上的排他性引用。其建筑语言是普适且包容的——多层次、开放且灵活。空间布局鼓励好奇、提升可见度，并鼓励非正式参与。这种设计方法确保图书馆不仅易于接近，而且充满吸引力，尤其对首次使用者或对公共机构不熟悉的人群而言尤为重要。

Yellamundie has become a source of community pride and sign of Liverpool’s ambition. Designed in close collaboration with Council and the Liverpool community, Yellamundie avoids aesthetic hierarchies or culturally exclusive references. Instead, its architecture is universal and inclusive – layered, open, and adaptable. Public life unfolds through spaces that encourage curiosity, visibility and informal participation. This approach ensures the library is not only accessible but inviting, particularly for first-time users or those unfamiliar with civic institutions.

▼学习与交流的空间，study and meet space

此外，Yellamundie也是可持续市政建筑的新标杆。它是利物浦市议会首座获得“六星级绿色之星”认证的建筑，为区域公共基础设施树立了新标准。关键可持续策略包括高性能外立面、被动式降温系统、再生材料使用、雨水收集系统以及大规模城市绿荫覆盖。这些环保设计不仅没有被隐藏，反而被充分展示，成为图书馆日常体验的一部分。

Yellamundie is also a benchmark in sustainable civic architecture. It is Liverpool City Council’s first 6 Star Green Star building, setting new expectations for public infrastructure in the region. Key sustainability strategies include a high-performance facade, passive cooling, recycled materials, water retention systems, and a significant urban canopy. These elements are not hidden but celebrated – positioning environmental performance as part of the library’s everyday experience.

Yellamundie的景观设计是其建筑身份不可或缺的一部分，由fjclandscape设计的周边公园、节水型植物种植与遮荫休憩空间，不仅将建筑深深嵌入坎伯兰平原生态之中，也在城市与自然之间创造了友好的过渡地带。这些景观策略提升了热舒适性，促进了生物多样性，也支持了非正式的社交生活，使图书馆既是文化锚点，也是城市的“绿色之肺”。

Yellamundie’s landscape is integral to its architectural identity – an immersive extension of the library’s interior narrative. Designed by fjclandscape, the surrounding parkland, water-sensitive plantings and shaded gathering areas not only embed the building within the Cumberland Plain ecology, but also offer a welcoming threshold between the civic and natural environment. These landscape strategies enhance thermal comfort, promote biodiversity, and support informal social life, positioning the library as both a cultural anchor and a green lung for the city.

在信息获取方式不断变化的今天，Yellamundie重新确认了公共图书馆的持久价值——它不是过时的遗产，而是未来重要的市民平台。它将建筑作为实现公平、促进文化连接与赋能社区的有力工具。对于西悉尼而言，这座建筑意义深远——它不是为了强加某种理想形态，而是为了真实反映并支持一个不断演变的社区生活。

As technology continues to reshape how we access information, Yellamundie reasserts the public library’s enduring value – not as a relic of the past, but as a vital civic platform for the future. It reframes architecture as a tool for equity, cultural connection, and empowerment. For Western Sydney, it is a building of deep relevance – designed not to impose an ideal, but to reflect and support the evolving life of its community.
