建立在过去之上的未来 A future built on the past

世界建筑日

安特卫普港口管理局大楼（又名港口大楼）是一座闪闪发光的方尖碑，矗立在数百年前的建筑之上。这座引人注目的建筑是扎哈·哈迪德（Zaha Hadid）与她的团队在扎哈·海迪德建筑师事务所（Zaha-Hadid Architects）创造的愿景，该事务所在2009年赢得了围绕历史消防站修建新建筑的竞赛。工程于2016年竣工，同年这位著名建筑师去世。扩建计划类似于一艘帆船的船体，突出的船头闪烁着钻石，让人想起安特卫普长期以来的宝石贸易。

今天，我们庆祝世界建筑日及其2022年的主题“建筑造福人类”通过将历史建筑与现代建筑相结合来保护历史建筑的建筑正变得越来越普遍，因为城市在创造新的现代空间和前所未有的建筑的同时，也在寻求保留其早期化身的精神。这种风格的一些著名例子包括纽约市的布鲁克林博物馆、德国德累斯顿的军事历史博物馆，以及另一个哈迪德设计，英国牛津的圣安东尼学院。

World Architecture Day

Antwerp's Port Authority Building (aka Port House) is a gleaming obelisk perched above a building from centuries past. This striking structure was the vision Zaha Hadid created with her team at Zaha Hadid Architects, which won a 2009 competition to build a new building around a historic firehouse. Work completed in 2016, the same year the famed architect died. The expansion is intended to resemble the hull of a sailing ship, with a protruding bow glimmering with diamonds, recalling Antwerp's longtime trade in precious stones.

Today we celebrate World Architecture Day and its 2022 theme of 'Architecture for wellbeing.' Architecture that preserves historic buildings by combining them with modern structures is becoming more prevalent as cities seek to retain the spirit of their earlier incarnations while creating new, modern spaces and never-before-seen constructions. Some famous examples of this style include the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, the Museum of Military History in Dresden, Germany, and another Hadid design, St. Antony's College in Oxford, England.
