架构师提供的文本描述。克雷格伯恩图书馆位于休谟市，是墨尔本北部一个快速发展的城市.这一迅速扩大的社区需要一个图书馆、学习中心和集合空间，作为公共社区的重点。选定的土地是开放的，周围是一系列不断扩大的新住房项目和零售开发项目。我们设想这个项目将成为休谟社区公共生活的焦点，但同时也试图将建筑与自然景观联系起来，而自然景观正因住宅的扩张而迅速改变。

Text description provided by the architects. Craigieburn Library is located in Hume City is a fast-growing municipality north of Melbourne. This rapidly expanding community required a library, learning centre and gathering space to serve as a public community focus. The selected site was open in character and surrounded by an expanding series of new housing projects and retail development. We conceived the project to become a built focus of public life for the Hume community, but also sought to connect the architecture with the natural landscape that is being rapidly transformed by residential expansion.

 Ground Floor Plan

该项目利用当地来源的地球作为主要建筑材料，建立了一个高度可持续的绿色议程，并为发展中的小镇Craigieburn设置了一个新的基准。图书馆是Craigieburn的一座关键公共建筑，继续将人们聚集在一起，并在一个温暖、友好和可持续的环境中充当社区的焦点。

The project utilises locally sourced earth as the primary building material, establishing a high-sustainable, green agenda and setting a new benchmark for the growing township of Craigieburn. The library is a key public building for Craigieburn, and continues to bring people together and act as a focal point for the community in a warm, friendly and sustainable environment.

这座建筑被认为是一系列不同高度和规模的连锁展馆，从入口处下来，还有一个两层高的中央图书馆阅读空间，一直到儿童图书馆的低规模。每个展馆通过百叶窗屋顶延伸到景观中，形成一系列北廊。贯穿建筑的十字形循环将这些功能以高度清晰、简单的几何学联系在一起。初级阅览室由一个双高度的空间组成，具有良好的自然光通道，阅读区域位于北面的玻璃幕墙上，由高水平的定向屋顶百叶窗保护。

The building is conceived as a series of interlocking pavilions of varying height and scale that step down from the entrance and a two-storey, central library reading space to the low scale of the children’s library. Each pavilion extends into the landscape through louvred roofs that create a series of northern verandahs. The cruciform circulation through the building ties these functions together in a highly legible, simple geometry. The primary reading room consists of a double-height volume with excellent access to natural light, with reading areas positioned along the glazed northern façade, protected by high-level, directional roof louvers.

轻钢和木材处理屋顶结构是由沉重的夯土墙补充，形成围护和连接的建筑和它所处的土。通过夯土，我们正在寻求将场地的地面直接改造成建筑形式，从某种意义上说，把场地的泥土包裹在向这种延伸的水平景观敞开的轻型凉亭周围。在这些百叶窗的阴影下，社区活动如市场和音乐功能，以及图书馆内活动的自然溢出。

The lightweight steel and timber-treated roof structures are complemented by the heavy rammed earth walls that form the enclosure and connect the building with the earth it sits on. Through the rammed earth, we are seeking a direct transformation of the ground of the site into built form, in a sense wrapping the earth of the site around the lightweight verandah like pavilions that open out to this extended horizontal landscape.Within the shade of these louvered verandahs, community activities such as markets and music functions occur, as well as the natural spill of activity from within the library.

除了核心图书馆服务外，该项目还包括一个当地综合美术馆、咖啡馆、儿童保育中心、计算机培训中心以及会议和功能空间。图书馆是Craigieburn的关键公共建筑，将继续将人们聚集在一起，并在一个温暖、友好和可持续的环境中充当社区的焦点。

In addition to the core library services, the project includes an integrated local art gallery, café, childcare centre, computer training centre and meeting and function spaces. The library is a key public building for Craigieburn, and will continue to bring people together and act as a focal point for the community in a warm, friendly and sustainable environment.
