金皮城镇中心是该地区的重要中心地带，其影响辐射当地5万名居民，及经由布鲁斯高速到达这里的游客。史密斯菲尔德街改造在2017年7月完工。全新的街道家具、行人等候点、壮观的行道树以及景观、街灯、公共艺术品和拓宽的人行道花费并不多，但极大的提升了街道景观效果，使人们更多的到户外用餐，成为了一条美食街。这也符合当地社区的需求。

The Gympie Town Centre is the region’s Principal Centre and services approximately 50,000 residents, as well as visitors passing through on the Bruce Highway. Completed July 2017, the project demonstrated community aspirations for cost-effective streetscape improvements by introduction of new street furniture, pedestrian crossing points, significant street tree planting and landscaping, streetscape lighting, public art, and widened pedestrian pavement areas to encourage alfresco dining and encourage an 'eat street' atmosphere. 

金皮的史密斯菲尔德街的设计灵感来自于“黄金机会”——这是金皮城镇中心的品牌和市场战略（2014）。设计成果也体现了金皮的过去、现在和未来所经历的丰富故事，特别是街景的设计主题正是契合了该地黄金大发现的历史。

The Design intent for Smithfield Street, Gympie, is captured by the words ‘Golden Opportunity’, stemming directly from the Place Brand developed through the Gympie Town Centre Branding and Marketing Strategy (2014). The design outcome showcases stories and themes about the past, present and future of Gympie with the streetscape design theme based on the gold discovery history of the region.

艺术品

ARTWORKS

高品质主题艺术品为史密斯菲尔德街增添了独特的场地魅力。特别甄选的公共艺术品带来独特的视觉和审美特质，创造出特别氛围，吸引人们对于大街的更长时间的关注和兴趣。各种公共艺术品也帮助激活大街的各关键节点。扩初设计阶段，大家探讨了公共艺术品的主题、形式和材料，确立了方向，并挑选了公共艺术家进一步深化概念，最后能创造出完全符合街景所需的艺术作品。街道上的艺术品中有两个主题性的雕塑作品，被命名为“点金术“；还有一个作品叫做”黄金之河“，则与栏杆等在设计上融于一体。

High quality themed public artwork was identified to add significantly to the overall place experience of Smithfield Street. The public art was selected to create a unique visual and aesthetic presence to capture the sense and draw people into the street, as well as to maintain human interest over time. Various public artwork opportunities were identified for Smithfield Street and to assist in activating key nodes. The theming, form and materials of the artworks was explored in the detailed design phase as public artwork briefs were developed and public artists were selected and commissioned to develop concepts and deliver art pieces that became integrated into the streetscape.  Artwork throughout the streetscape consists of the ‘River of Gold’, which is incorporated into the railings and two themed sculptural pieces collectively titled ‘Alchemy’.

点金术由Russell Anderson创作，主题来源于小镇口口相传的丰富淘金故事，包括舱口和街对面的黄金制造机。舱口盖在废旧的矿井上，这里曾发现小型黄金生物，能生产出微量黄金。操作黄金制造机将增大这些生物的作用，将动能传回矿井，获得基石上可能存在的黄金。

Alchemy, by artist: Russell Anderson, comprises the Hatch and Gold Making Machine (opposite side of the street), themed on a fictional reference to the town’s rich gold history. The Hatch capes an old mine shaft, where tiny gold making creatures were discovered producing minuscule amounts of gold. Operating the Gold Making Machine amplifies the effect of these creatures, transmitting energy back into the shaft and transforming bedrock in to a golden opportunity.

黄金之河由艺术家MANNINGDALY设计，连接起场地和社区，展现金皮地区丰富的景观地貌和独特的历史，讲述了金皮的过去、现在和未来。艺术品的灵感来源于玛莉河、金的原子结构及当地特有的毛榛子、银桦和金皮坚果的花朵。

River of Gold, by artist MANNINGDALY, connects place and community, celebrating the rich landscape and unique history of the Gympie region and reflects the narrative of Gympie’s past, present and future. It references the Mary River, atomic structure of Gold and flowers of the endemic Hairy Hazelwood, Silky Oak and Gympie Nut.

景观材质、完成面和装饰

LANDSCAPE MATERIAL, FINISHES AND FURNISHINGS

铺装材质反映出金皮的地质条件，定居状况和历史发展。金色的地砖代表了淘金热和其所带来的财富； 石板色的条带则是地质条件的象征，也象征着永恒和顽强；大地色系意喻了金皮地区土壤肥沃。悬链型照明好似史密斯菲尔德山脊的型廓，座椅、柱灯及其支撑上的穿孔设计也都让人联想起黄金微粒。

Paving materials underfoot reflect Gympie’s geology, settlement and growth. Gold pavers represent the Gold Rush and wealth it brought; slate-coloured banding references the geology of the area and signifies permanence and solidity; and earth colours refer to the richness of the soil of the Gympie region. Catenary lighting overhead is inspired by the outline of the Smithfield Reef and the perforated seating, bollards and support poles give the appearance of a gold fleck. 

植栽组合

PLANTING PALETTE

根据稳健性、活力和生长习性选择行道树及林下植物，同时兼顾视觉上和文化上的特点，增加街道活力。

Street tree and understorey plantings were selected based on robustness, vigour and growth habits as well as other visual and cultural characteristics that add to the vibrancy of the street. 

植栽设计整体期望能为史密斯菲尔德街打造出一个绿色的、富有魅力的、枝繁叶茂的空间。大树形成的大量遮荫，使人行区域舒适宜人、尺度得当。所有的树种及林下植栽均为本地和外来耐寒植物组合。

The intent for the overall planting design was to create a green, inviting and leafy character in Smithfield Street and to maximise footpath shade by trees to create a pleasant pedestrian microclimate and human scale. All trees are native tree species and understorey plantings are a varied mix of hardy native and exotic species.

照明

LIGHTING

采用装饰性照明和灯光效果，铺装上的彩色和图案灯光效果强化了街道的活力和氛围。悬链型照明解决方案使史密斯菲尔德街明显有别于其他街道，同时也能满足夜间各种功能上和使用上的需求。悬链型照明好似史密斯菲尔德山脊的型廓，座椅、柱灯及其支撑上的穿孔设计也都让人联想起黄金微粒。

Decorative lighting and lighting effects were employed and colourful or patterned lighting effects on paving were utilised to enhance vibrancy and mood. The project included a Catenary Lighting solution to create a unique point of difference for the street and to enable the creation of lighting and night time effects suited to various functions and uses. Catenary lighting overhead is inspired by the outline of the Smithfield Reef and the perforated seating, bollards and support poles give the appearance of a gold fleck.

其他低照度照明则重点用于人行空间和关键节点、公共艺术品区，以及特色植栽区。

Other low-level lighting was developed to focus on footpath spaces and key nodes, public artworks and feature planting elements in the street. 

史密斯菲尔德街的改造极大的增加了城镇的活力。现在，城镇中心空置物业正在减少，更多的商户进入提供餐饮服务，现有商户则营业时间更长，尤其是在周末更为突出，这也创造了更多的就业机会。

Economically, the street now significantly contributes to an attractive vibrant town centre which has encouraged the take-up of vacant premises, boosted the number of eateries offering alfresco dining, and encouraged existing businesses to stay open longer, particularly on weekends, leading to more job opportunities. 

城镇中心作为地区核心，为当地带来安全、关怀和相互联系的社区，该项目进一步稳固了城镇中心的角色定位。富有创意的照明系统营造了温馨和安全感；遮荫处遮蔽了当头烈日，让人放松；更好的公共安全；包括符合要求的残疾人停车布局在内的设计使人们更易于到达商店和服务 —— 这些改善都极大地加强了人与人之间的社交互动。

Socially, the project has reinforced the town centre’s role as an attractive regional hub that contributes to safe, caring and connected communities. Innovative lighting systems enhance ambience and safety, shaded areas offer relief from the daytime sun, and there is better public safety and access to shopping and services, including compliant People with Disability parking layouts – with all improvements incorporated to encourage social interaction.

大规模的绿化包括17类大树和120多类本地灌木和地被植物，创造了舒适的步行小气候和树荫空间，减少了冷却系统的成本；改善的雨水排放系统使得上游集水区能发挥最大的潜力。设计中也有对未来发展的思考。史密斯菲尔德街预埋电气交换板、地下电气导管，并在悬链杆内套管，为今后智慧城市的发展预留了150%的额外容量。

Environmentally, extensive landscaping featuring 17 trees and more than 1200 native shrubs and groundcovers, creates a pleasant pedestrian microclimate and to shade shops, cutting cooling costs; improved storm water drainage allows the upstream catchment to be developed to its ultimate potential; and talk about future thinking – the street has been designed with electrical switchboards, underground electrical conduits and internal casing on the catenary poles with 150% additional capacity to allow for future Smart City technologies.

除此以外，设计着力于在现有更大范围的城镇中心区域内推动步行和骑行，使该地区能继续获得主动运输所带来的好处，并能符合更广泛的健康和可持续发展目标。

On top of the above, the design also supports and builds on the existing wider town centre environment for promoting walking and cycling to ensure the region continues to promote the benefits of active transport and meeting broader health and sustainability goals.
