于近日完成的悉尼市图书馆广场，即将成为更开阔的绿色广场区的公共中心。它将作为周围居民的“城市客厅”，提供给人们一处能举办譬如丰富的社会活动，被动性娱乐空间和社交聚会机会等等各种项目的，完成各类探索、创意和连接的场所。
The recently completed library plaza will be the public heart of the wider Green Square Precinct. It will act as an ‘urban living room’ for the surrounding residents, providing places for exploration, creativity, and connection; with multiple programs for events, passive recreational spaces, and social gathering opportunities.

由建筑师斯图尔特·霍尔伦斯坦（Stewart Hollenstein）设计的悉尼绿色广场·图书馆广场项目重新定义了公共图书馆的传统观念；这项将图书馆由地面转至地下，于街面上创造出一座新城市广场空间的现代创新设计，打败了其他的竞争对手，成为最终国际设计竞赛的赢家。
The City of Sydney’s Green Square Library and Plaza project, designed by architects Stewart Hollenstein, redefines the traditional idea of a public library. The innovative design, which won an international competition, locates the library underground, allowing for a significant new urban plaza to be realised at street level.

从某种程度上来说，图书馆广场实现了建筑形式和景观环境的融合，在遍布青翠苍郁的绿色植被的，更开放的环境之中，打造并建立一系列具有高度灵活性的公共设施。
It fuses built form and landscape to create flexible public amenities within a verdant open setting.

作为一系列为新绿色广场城镇中心区域提供可用公共场所中的第一处试点广场，悉尼市希望它能成为这一片社区的市民聚集和活动中心。由此设计师对于该地区的设想是，创造出一处活跃，高质，开放和灵活的公共领域，既可以为新图书馆作空间补充之用，又可以作类别更多样，范围更开阔的休闲、规划性文化和创意活动之用。
As the first of several public places to be delivered for the new Green Square Town Centre Precinct, the City of Sydney wanted the library and plaza to become a civic heart of the community. They envisioned an active, high-quality, open, and flexible public domain that both complemented the new library and enabled a wide variety of casual and programmed cultural and creative uses.

总而言之，图书馆广场的再设计即将促使它成为面积更广阔，使用更多元的绿色广场区的公共心脏，同时也将是整个广场重建后首批遗址之一。
The library and plaza will be the public heart of the wider Green Square Precinct, and one of the first sites built in its overall redevelopment.
