点评:Depending on your point of view, the Landmark Theatre is either an eyesore that looks a lot like Madonna’s bra (remember her pointy phase) or it’s a distinctive, modern building that has helped put Ilfracombe on the map.
What you see here is basically a pair of large, grey, brick cones. I cant say I warmed to it. It could be a small nuclear power station.
I softened my view a little when I learnt that the design was supposed to recall the area's historical glass-making kilns.
We began our visit to Ilfracombe at the theatre. It was a good starting point to explore the town, mainly because it has a large public carpark (£1.60 per hour in the summer season). I'd also been expecting to find the Ilfracombe Visitor Centre here but it's no longer located inside the theatre. A very reduced version of it is now located at the Ilfracombe Museum instead.
翻译:从不同的角度来看,地标剧院要么是丑陋不堪、酷似麦当娜胸罩(还记得她那段时期的尖头造型吗?)的丑陋建筑,要么是为伊尔弗勒科姆增添光彩的现代建筑。
你现在看到的基本上就是两个巨大的灰色砖锥。说实话,我并不喜欢它。它看起来就像一座小型核电站。
后来我了解到,它的设计灵感来源于当地历史悠久的玻璃窑,我的看法才稍稍缓和了一些。
我们从剧院开始游览伊尔弗勒科姆。这里是探索小镇的好起点,主要是因为剧院附近有一个大型公共停车场(夏季每小时1.60英镑)。我原本以为伊尔弗勒科姆游客中心也会在这里,但它已经不在剧院内了。现在,游客中心的精简版设在了伊尔弗勒科姆博物馆里。
