滨海艺术中心,位于新加坡著名的滨海区,新加坡河入海口,是最具特色的现代建筑之一。该艺术中心于2002年10月正式落成,已成为新加坡的标志性建筑。滨海艺术中心的主设计方为DP Architects,其建筑师团队以昆虫的复眼为灵感,造就了其独特的外观。又由于俯视时,艺术中心主体宛如两颗榴莲,因而又名“榴莲艺术中心”。 The Esplanade, located in Singapore’s famous coastal area, is one of the most distinctive modern buildings in Singapore. The art center was officially completed in October 2002 and has become a landmark in Singapore. The principal architect of the Esplanade is DP Architects, whose team of architects inspired the compound eyes of insects to create a unique look. Because of the bird’s eye view, the main body of the art center resembles two durians, hence the name “Durian Art Center.”
