428 GB - City of Bath (1987)

Brief Description

"Founded by the Romans as a thermal spa, Bath became an important centre of the wool industry in the Middle Ages. In the 18th century, under George III, it developed into an elegant town with neoclassical Palladian buildings, which blend harmoniously with the Roman baths."

巴斯城
"巴斯城最开始是罗马人的温泉城,在中世纪变成了重要的毛纺织工业中心。在18世纪,乔治三世统治时期,吸取了帕拉第奥建筑风格的灵感而把巴斯城建成为新式和古典式建筑物融合统一的优美城市。"

166 AU - Sydney Opera House (2007)

Brief Description

"Inaugurated in 1973, the Sydney Opera House is a great architectural work of the 20th century that brings together multiple strands of creativity and innovation in both architectural form and structural design. A great urban sculpture set in a remarkable waterscape, at the tip of a peninsula projecting into Sydney Harbour, the building has had an enduring influence on architecture. The Sydney Opera House comprises three groups of interlocking vaulted ‘shells’ which roof two main performance halls and a restaurant. These shell-structures are set upon a vast platform and are surrounded by terrace areas that function as pedestrian concourses. In 1957, when the project of the Sydney Opera House was awarded by an international jury to Danish architect Jørn Utzon, it marked a radically new approach to construction."

悉尼歌剧院
"落成于1973年的悉尼歌剧院是20世纪的伟大建筑工程之一, 无论是在建筑形式上还是在结构设计上,都是各种艺术创新的结晶。在迷人海景映衬下,一组壮丽的城市雕塑巍然屹立,顶端呈半岛状,翘首直指悉尼港。这座建筑 给建筑业带来了深远的影响。歌剧院由三组贝壳状相互交错的穹顶组成,内设两个主演出厅和一个餐厅。这些贝壳状建筑屹立在一个巨大的基座之上,四周是露台 区,作为行人汇集之所。1957年,国际评审团决定由当时尚不出名的丹麦建筑师丁·乌特松(Jørn Utzon) 设计悉尼歌剧院项目,标志着建筑业进入了全新的合作时期。悉尼歌剧院作为向全社会开放的伟大艺术杰作列入了《世界遗产名录》。"

"This is a fine example of a working Orthodox monastery, with military features that are typical of the 15th to the 18th century, the period during which it developed. The main church of the Lavra, the Cathedral of the Assumption (echoing the Kremlin Cathedral of the same name), contains the tomb of Boris Godunov. Among the treasures of the Lavra is the famous icon, The Trinity, by Andrei Rublev."
