为什么这个项目不同？

Why is this project different?

这是理事会的一种新型设施，将图书馆和青年中心合并为一个单一项目，以及一个区域委员会商店前和市议会办公室。黄金海岸市议会与整个城市和拉赫兹·尼莫建筑师协会合作，设计Helensvale分支图书馆和社区文化青年中心(CCYC)，为日益壮大的当地社区提供重要的新文化资产。

This is a new type of facility for the Council that combines both a library and youth centre in a single project, along with a regional Council shop front and Councillor’s offices. The Gold Coast City Council engaged Complete Urban and Lahz Nimmo Architects in Association to design the Helensvale Branch Library and Community Cultural Youth Centre (CCYC) and provide an important new cultural asset for the growing local community.

这个项目的挑战是什么？

What was the challenge of the project?

我们面对的挑战，是要振兴一间老化过时的图书馆，以满足社会现时的需要，并为各种社区活动提供一个舒适和实用的空间。建筑师的设计创造了一个充满活力和使用良好的社区中心，现在比隔壁的老购物中心更受欢迎。

The challenge was to revitalise an aging and out-dated library to meet the current needs of the community and provide a comfortable and practical space for a wide variety of community activities. The architects’ design has created a vibrant and well-used community hub that is now more popular than the established shopping centre next door.

新的设施给社会带来了什么好处？

What benefits have the new facilities brought to the community?

社区中心不仅提供重要的公共空间，而且充当商业和创意孵化器，设施包括200个座位-礼堂、舞厅、录音室、3D打印机、会议空间、娱乐班，以及为儿童和家庭举办的活动。

The community hub provides not only important public space, but acts as a business and creative incubator, with facilities including 200 seat-auditorium, dance hall, recording studio, 3D printer, meeting spaces, recreational classes, and organised activities for children and families.

自该中心去年开业以来，图书馆的参观人数增加了40%，并被评为全国最好的图书馆之一。

Attendance at the library has risen by 40% since the centre's opening last year, and it has been labelled as one of the best in the country.

“邻舍房”的好处是什么？

What is the benefit of the ‘Neighbourhood Room’?

该设计将图书馆和社区中心聚集在一个名为“邻舍”的共享室内广场，这是一个新的户外广场的延伸。这一自然通风和照明的空间是新建筑的重点-一个凉爽的，阴影的休憩从昆士兰的太阳，和一个非常需要的公共集会空间。它作为每个建筑功能的条目和地址，以及垂直连接三个层次。

The design brings the library and community centre together around a shared indoor plaza called the ‘Neighbourhood Room’, which is an extension of the new outdoor plaza. This naturally ventilated and lit space is the focus of the new building — a cool, shaded reprieve from the Queensland sun, and a much needed public gathering space. It acts as an entry and address for each of the building functions, as well as vertically linking the three levels.

该项目如何支持公共艺术？

How does the project support public art?

在户外广场的一侧，艺术家贝琳达·史密斯(Belinda Smith)在通往邻里室的同时，创作了一幅“遥远的，这里”(Faraway，Here)，一堵洁白的陶瓷艺术墙，画的是空旷的书籍和飞行中的鸟儿。

Along one side of the outdoor plaza, and leading into the Neighbourhood Room, artist Belinda Smith has created ‘Faraway, Here’, a ceramic art wall of gloss white; drawing on analogies of open books and birds in flight.
