The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970’s was the enthusiasm for refurbishing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960’s, but it was in the 1970’s, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.
One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston’s eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking.
Butler Square, in Minneapois, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the. interior and adding large skylights.
San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio’s leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district. [br] What is the author’s opinion of the San Antonio project?
选项
A、It is clearly the best of the projects discussed.
B、It is a good project that could be copied in other cities.
C、The extensive use of bulldozers made the project unnecessarily costly.
D、The work done on the river was more important than the work done on the buildings.
答案
B
解析
选项A的意思是“它明显是所讨论过的最佳工程”,在文章中并没有提到这一点;选项B的意思是“它是一个其他城市可以模仿的典范”,文章最后—段中的San Antonio, Texas,offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay.所讲述的正是这一点;选项C的意思是“推土机的大量使用使得这项工程代价很高”,这与本文的主要内容相反;选项D的意思是在河流上所做的工作要比在建筑物上所做的工作重要得多。故本题的正确答案是B。
