点评:This was a tour of the art and architecture in Buffalo’s city hall. It’s a magnificent building, built between 1929 and 1932. The style is classic Art Deco, 32 stories of it. Inside, the lobby is a long arched space, plus four arched hallways, the long spaces reminiscent of the Iroquois longhouses that were once tradition in the area. The ceilings are tiled in designs mimicking Native American designs (not necessarily authentic). The floors are marble, with beautiful inlays. There are murals, sculptures, flat metalwork, paintings, and so much more … overwhelming the visitor. The tour visits the city council meeting room, the treasury office, and the mayor’s office, before heading to the observation deck, from which one can see spectacular views of the city. Unfortunately, the deck is not accessible to anyone who uses a mobility device, as the elevators only go so far, and the deck is 60 steps above that point.
翻译:这是布法罗市政厅的艺术和建筑之旅。这是一座宏伟的建筑,建于 1929 年至 1932 年间。风格是经典的装饰艺术,有 32 层。大厅内部是一个长长的拱形空间,还有四个拱形走廊,长长的空间让人想起曾经是该地区传统的易洛魁长屋。天花板上的瓷砖设计模仿了美洲原住民的设计(不一定是真实的)。地板是大理石的,镶嵌着美丽的镶嵌物。这里有壁画、雕塑、平面金属制品、绘画等等……让游客应接不暇。游览团参观了市议会会议室、财政办公室和市长办公室,然后前往观景台,从那里可以看到城市的壮丽景色。不幸的是,任何使用移动设备的人都无法进入观景台,因为电梯只能到达这么远,而观景台在那个点上面有 60 个台阶。
