The American Institute of Architects - never a group to remain silent in the face of structures that it deems unattractive - has released an index of the ugliest buildings in New York City, part of the local chapter's annual guide to the city's architecture. And guess who is ugliest this year? Hint: it's the new headquarters of daily broadsheet newspaper.
美國建築師學會(American Institute of Architects)看到自認不吸引人的建築,從不保持沉默。在針對紐約建築的年度指南中,發佈了一個該市最醜建築名單。猜猜今年最難看的建築是哪棟?提示:一家知名日報的新總部(編者注:此處指《紐約時報》)。
Elsewhere in the new list are not one but two Donald Trump towers, a light blue T.G.I. Friday's restaurant on Fifth Avenue, a training center for unionized iron workers, a drab Bronx apartment building and the former headquarters of the defunct Bear Stearns.
入圍這個新名單的其他建築包括:兩棟(不是一棟)特朗普(Donald Trump)大樓、T.G.I. Friday 在第五大道的一座淺藍色餐館、一處鋼鐵工會的培訓中心、布朗克斯區一棟乏味的公寓大樓,以及破產企業貝爾斯登(Bear Stearns)過去的總部。
