点评:The Perret Tower is a good landmark in Amiens. It can be spotted some some distance and is located near the train station end of town (and our hotel) so we found it a useful way to orient ourselves.
Designed by architect Auguste Perret in 1948, it has a wonderfully art-deco style about it. At first glance, it reminded us of a rocket, ready to launch into space. It was not hard to imagine that this was the kind of building King Kong would climb if he was in Amiens.
For a long time, it was the highest skyscraper in Europe, Standing at 110 metres tall and with over 25 floors, it must have been impressive. Whilst those statistics hardly compare against Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (828 metres) or the Shanghai Tower (632 metres), it was considered a marvel of modern architecture in its day.
NOTE: The Tower is privately owned and is no longer open to the public but its easy to see from the outside.
翻译:佩雷塔是亚眠的地标建筑。它距离市区火车站(以及我们下榻的酒店)很近,从远处就能看到,所以我们觉得它能帮我们辨别方向。
佩雷塔由建筑师奥古斯特·佩雷于1948年设计,拥有精美的装饰艺术风格。乍一看,它就像一枚准备发射升空的火箭。不难想象,如果金刚在亚眠,他会攀登这样的建筑。
长期以来,它一直是欧洲最高的摩天大楼,高达110米,共有25层,一定令人印象深刻。虽然这些数据无法与迪拜的哈利法塔(828米)或上海中心大厦(632米)相比,但在当时,它被认为是现代建筑的奇迹。
注意:该塔为私人所有,现已停止对外开放,但从外部很容易看到。
