联邦广场的点评
点评:Any walking tour of the city will include Fed Square.
Along with the Yarra River and historic Flinders Street Station, it’s one of the city’s major landmarks. All three are close together so you can easily combine seeing them at the same time.
Designed in 2002 as a modern version of a town square, it is a large, open, plaza-like space, enclosed by uber-modern buildings.
If you are just coming for a look, you don’t need to linger here very long.
We stayed long enough to check out the dramatic architecture that surrounds the square. It’s all angled planes of glass, zinc, and sandstone, put together in a strangely fractured pattern. Not surprisingly, it was controversial in its day.
Once we’d done this, we headed down the stairs towards the Yarra to walk alongside the river towards Melbourne Park, where the tennis was being played.
Mostly the square serves as a good meeting point but lots of events are held here and some significant art and cultural venues are here also - the NGV Potter Gallery of Australian Art, the ACMI (film and screen culture) and the Koorie Heritage Trust.
The square comes alive during the Australian Open which is when we were there. The tennis is broadcast across a large fixed screen and the square is filled with people who have set up blankets and seats to watch the live broadcast. The atmosphere when major sports events are broadcast is amazing.
翻译:任何城市徒步之旅都会包含联邦广场。
它与亚拉河和历史悠久的弗林德斯街车站一起,是这座城市的主要地标之一。这三处景点距离很近,您可以轻松地同时游览。
联邦广场于2002年设计,是现代版的城市广场,它是一个宽敞开放的广场式空间,四周环绕着超现代的建筑。
如果您只是来参观,无需在此停留太久。
我们停留的时间足够长,可以欣赏环绕广场的引人注目的建筑。这些建筑由倾斜的玻璃、锌和砂岩平面组成,以一种奇特的破碎图案组合在一起。不出所料,它在当时引起了争议。
欣赏完建筑后,我们沿着台阶走向亚拉河,沿着河岸漫步前往墨尔本公园,那里正在举行网球比赛。
广场主要是一个不错的聚会场所,但也经常举办各种活动,这里还聚集了一些重要的艺术和文化场所,例如维多利亚国家美术馆(NGV Potter Gallery of Australian Art)、澳大利亚电影与影像文化中心(ACMI)以及库里文化遗产信托基金会(Koorie Heritage Trust)。
我们去的时候正值澳大利亚网球公开赛期间,广场更是热闹非凡。网球比赛通过一块巨大的固定屏幕进行直播,广场上挤满了人,他们铺开毯子,摆好椅子,观看现场直播。大型体育赛事直播时的气氛总是令人惊叹。
