点评:The streetscape of Brunswick speaks of diversity and creativity... there is something appealing about the area. The mix of old buildings with new, the crowded footpaths, the graffiti ... it blends together to create something that is uniquely Melbourne.
Whilst Brunswick was declared a municipality in 1857, it was not until 1908 that it became a city. The Town Hall is an imposing Victorian building in the Second Empire style, built in 1876.
Second Empire style, also known as the Napoleon III style, is a highly eclectic style of architecture and decorative arts, which uses elements of many different historical styles, and also made innovative use of modern materials, such as iron frameworks and glass skylights.
Older buildings whisper to us about culture, history, and values of the past which makes this town hall an important part of this area. It's well worth stopping to look at it.
I was curious about when the clock was added because it seems to not fit with the design of the building, being that it's the most unattractive feature.
翻译:不伦瑞克 (Brunswick) 的街景诉说着多样性和创造力……该地区有一些吸引人的地方。旧建筑与新建筑、拥挤的人行道、涂鸦……融合在一起,创造出墨尔本独一无二的东西。
虽然不伦瑞克于 1857 年被宣布为直辖市,但直到 1908 年才成为一个城市。市政厅是一座宏伟的第二帝国风格维多利亚式建筑,建于 1876 年。
第二帝国风格,也被称为拿破仑三世风格,是一种高度折衷的建筑和装饰艺术风格,它使用了许多不同历史风格的元素,并创新地使用了现代材料,如铁框架和玻璃天窗。
古老的建筑向我们诉说着过去的文化、历史和价值观,这使得市政厅成为该地区的重要组成部分。值得驻足观赏。
我很好奇时钟是什么时候添加的,因为它似乎不符合建筑物的设计,因为它是最不吸引人的功能。
