International architectural practice Buchan created a community-centric design for the new Ipswich Central Library and Tulmur Place, adding new life to the city’s historic CBD.
Imagined as a centrally located, culturally expressive and inclusive space for the local community, the design of the new library and civic plaza in Ipswich references the surrounding natural and built context, with Buchan’s architectural and masterplanning approach drawing from a rich and diverse history, and layering new elements to encourage engagement.
A lushly green and enjoyable pathway promotes safe passage while also providing enriching public amenity that caters to the diverse cultural audience. Additionally, specialised lighting and a light-art façade animate the space further.

This has been a tough year for everyone involved in the music business, here in Thailand and everywhere else.
Since lockdown in March, World Beat has only been able to attend a few concerts; it was only in September that I got to see live music when I saw many national artists perform at the Thailand Cultural Centre. Spare a thought for those in the entertainment business who have had to close bars and lay off staff and musicians in places like Samut Sakhon, where a new outbreak of the Covid-19 virus has struck in the past week.
