| 摘要： | Quality modern architecture has a power of attraction and ports, which are often key gateways into cities, provide an opportunity to showcase design talent and deliver iconic buildings that spark peoples' imaginations, draw in tourists, and fire up commercial opportunities. The late great Zaha Hadid put port architecture firmly back on the agenda in 2016 with her extraordinary design for the new headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority. The repurposed derelict fire station is oversailed by a giant faceted glass structure shaped like the bow of a ship. This project set the ball rolling for several other impressive buildings in ports that redefine the traditional approaches to design. When considered in the context of a municipality or a region, with its own unique climate, relief, and skyline, powerful architecture can evoke the local setting, culture, and values. Recent designs have made efforts to connect into and extend the wider urban fabric. For example, Zaha Hadid Architects' masterplan for the Port of Tallinn in Estonia includes public parks, recreation areas, and even new residential neighborhoods. |
