44、 the worlds great modern cities. 实用标准文案 文档大全 In little more than 200 years, Sydney has gone from being a dumping ground for British convicts to a confident metropolis, with a number of potential treasures Im keen to see. Ive come to Sydney to seek my treasure. To find the treasure that captures the
45、extraordinary history, the spirit of this city and this nation. There are several contenders. The first one is obvious - The Sydney Opera House. Its the great Australian icon and one of the most celebrated buildings of the 20th century. The Opera House was designed in 1957 by a Danish architect, Jor
46、n Utzon. The Opera House was one of the most memorable buildings of the 20th century. Its forms are so strong. Theyre like a symbol for the city. These great shells one upon the other, incredibly powerful. The influences are complex. Utzon looked at many things. Hed been to Mexico, seen Mayan archit
47、ecture. He loved the platform. Im on the platform now. The shells rise from - rise from the platform. Below are sort of the service parts of the buildings, and these great steps, again from the great Mayan temples in Mexico. So hes thinking of ancient sacred buildings. Utzon also took inspiration fr
48、om nature. He needed to make the structure easy 实用标准文案 文档大全 to build. His solution was ingenious. The shape of each of these shells originates from one form - a sphere. If one takes an orange and one cuts it into components, Im now creating the surface of the shells on a miniscule scale. And these s
49、urface shapes of standard geometrical form are the basis of the shell structure of the city Opera House, you see. Incredible this use of nature, use of simple forms, use of powerful elemental geometry, use of modern building materials - concrete, all very ingenious, to create emblematic building, wh
50、ich sums up the city, which has captured the imagination of the world, which says Sydney. My heart sinks when I enter the Opera House. It seems like another building. The imaginative design of the exterior has not been repeated inside. Its all because in 1966 Uzton walked off the project after rows
51、over the design and escalating budget. The consequences of Uztons resignation were, well, tragic really. The fact is the relationship between the inside and the outside is, er, what shall one say - unresolved, unsatisfactory. Its good in parts, but not as good as it ought to be and thats very sad. A masterpiece has been flawed. 实用标准文案 文档大全
