The Space
Is known as both, Market Place and the Triangles
Manly Library
Designed by architect Feiko Bouman in 1995, but has existed since 1950's.
Was built for the library, in the Market place. So the market place existed first?
Intended to transform back alleys into a 'bustling piazza'
The Bricks
'The manly library trust' is the funding arm of Manly Library, comprised of a group of local residents.
The 'buy-a-brick' campaign is the most successful and popular activity. Donations of $110 donate a library and an inscribed brick is placed in the 'forecourt' in return.
'A great contribution to MARKET PLACE'. highlight the library's place in the community

oh wao that's so interesting! so there is a reason for those ugly bricks.. we probably can't move them then..
Market place.. so I wonder if it was a space for markets before all the buildings were built?
