Bunjil Place is a community and civic building located just outside of Melbourne in Narre Warren, Australia. A multipurpose space, it houses a library, theatre, public gathering area, exhibition space, gallery and more.
A cavernous foyer links these different spaces, whilst an emblematic roof shelters the community from the noise and pollution of the nearby highway. Connecting these two elements is the centrepiece of the building: a descending wooden ‘eagle’ made from 90 strands of PARKLEX PRODEMA timber.
This eagle overlooks the different strands of life that pass through Bunjil Place every day. The undulating white and timber ribbons in the foyer further demonstrate the flowing and interconnected nature of this vibrant community space.
Bunjil Place 是一座位于澳大利亚纳雷沃伦(Narre Warren,墨尔本近郊)的社区与公共建筑。作为多功能空间,它包含图书馆、剧院、公共集会区、展览空间与画廊等。
一个宏阔的中庭将这些不同功能空间串联起来,标志性的屋顶则为社区屏蔽了邻近高速公路的噪音与污染。连接这两者的,是建筑的核心之作:一只由 90 条 PARKLEX PRODEMA 木纹板条构成的俯冲「木鹰」。
这只鹰俯瞰着每天穿行于 Bunjil Place 的芸芸众生。中庭内起伏的白色与木色飘带,进一步展现了这个活力社区空间流动而互联的特质。
