这座全新的悉尼广场与社区建筑植根于被遗忘的历史之中，其探讨的是场所、遗产与身份的意义。项目试图发掘、叠加并颂扬这片悉尼沿海地区的Eora原住民起源，关注不同文化的和解，以及在不断变化的世界中对身份的重新界定。对差异的承认构成了设计的核心，项目试图从土地上层层叠加的人类居住痕迹中生成一种混合形态，呈现殖民者与原住民社群之间相遇与互动的历史。

Rooted in lost history, the new Sydney Plaza & Community Building is about the meaning of place, heritage, and identity. An attempt to uncover, layer, and celebrate the Eora origins of this part of coastal Sydney, the project is about the reconciliation of cultures and defining identity in an ever-changing world. This acknowledgement of difference lies at the heart of the proposal and aims to create hybrid mutations from the layers of human inhabitation on the land that elucidate the history of encounters between settlers and indigenous communities.

项目从原住民文化中简洁而统一的形式语言，以及“营造场所”的观念中汲取灵感，使悉尼广场成为新的文化锚点。它如同一枚历史的种子，围绕“庇护”这一概念展开，成为一处象征性的空间，让人们得以在快速变迁的城市节奏中停驻，并在光影之中被发现、又逐渐消融。

Inspired by simple unitary forms and placemaking in Aboriginal culture, Sydney Plaza’s new cultural anchor point is a seed of history based around the notion of shelter—a symbolic room to pause from the rhythm of a fast-transforming city that is discovered and dissolves through light.

“我希望这座新的社区建筑与乔治街公共广场，能够成为悉尼城市中心一个被人珍视的目的地，一个让人们彼此连接、补充能量、静心思考的地方，让人们得以从这座快速变迁的城市节奏中暂且抽身。”

"My hope is that this new community building and George Street public plaza will become a cherished destination in Sydney’s city center, a generative place for people to connect, recharge, reflect and take a pause from the rhythm of a fasttransforming city."

——大卫·阿贾耶（David Adjaye）

为了将这一深层次的核心与场地的历史与起源连接起来，Adjaye携手Kudjla / Gangalu原住民血统的当代艺术家Daniel Boyd，共同打造了项目的关键元素：一座尺寸为27 × 34米的穿孔顶棚。它以诗意的明暗交叠、虚实相容的形态，为社区建筑与广场提供庇护，并将两者融为一体。

To connect this profound center with the site’s heritage and origins, Adjaye collaborated with Daniel Boyd, a renowned contemporary artist of Kudjla / Gangalu Aboriginal descent, on the project’s key feature—a 27x34m perforated canopy that shelters and unites the community building and the plaza under a poetic layer of light and dark, solid and void.

作为对格式塔心理学的一种间接思考，Boyd的艺术作品让人感觉如同一段宇宙般的光之旅程。光线透过随机分布的圆形镜面孔洞被过滤与折射，最终汇聚为一个整体性的视觉场域。顶棚悬挂于由单根钢柱支撑的一系列桁架之下，界定了公共广场的矩形边界，同时消解了周边建筑的界限，激活一处全新的集体相遇空间。

An indirect meditation on Gestalst psychology, Boyd’s artwork is experienced as a cosmic journey of light that filters and refracts through multiple, randomly scattered, circular, mirror-lined openings that culminate as a holistic visual field. Suspended from a series of trusses supported by a singular steel column, the canopy defines the rectangular perimeter of the public plaza and helps to dissolve the surrounding architecture to activate a new place of collective encounter.

通过层层交织的设计语言唤起场所感，这一社区建筑鲜明的坡屋顶形态呼应了早期殖民者住宅的基本轮廓，并以一种简约而实用的钢结构形式加以包裹。其下方设置开放式平面布局的展厅空间，以及俯瞰广场的室内外观景平台，构成一个灵活、自由流动的空间体系，灵感源自原住民对“围合”的理解，并以温暖、亲和的木质材料为主调。

Weaving layers that illuminate a sense of place, the distinctive pitched roof of the community building refers to the primary silhouette of early settlers’ houses—wrapped in a reduced utilitarian steel form. Underneath, an open plan gallery and indoor-outdoor viewing platform overlooking the plaza offer a flexible free flow space inspired by indigenous ideas of enclosure—defined by a warm, inviting timber material palette.

艺术与社区在与广场及周边开发项目的连接中自然交汇，人们在行走其间，历史与记忆不断叠加。最终形成的是一种混合形态，将早期殖民遗产与工业材料语言，与原住民文化的根源融为一体。

Seamless encounters between art and community are activated by connections to the plaza and adjacent developments; histories and memories are layered into the place as one passes through. The result is a hybrid form that merges the legacy of early settlers and industrial materiality with Aboriginal origins.
