The new Icefjord Centre in Ilulissat is a beautiful thing. Designed by Danish architect Dorte Mandrup to “soar like a snowy owl over the landscape”, the £17.3mn visitor centre finally opened last year, the culmination of an idea that had been around for two decades. Funded by philanthropists and the Greenlandic government, it’s designed to provide a meeting place for the local community, to act as a gateway between the town and the wilderness beyond, and to encourage tourism.
位于伊卢利萨特的新冰峡湾中心是一个美丽的杰作。由丹麦建筑师多尔特·曼德鲁普(Dorte Mandrup)设计的“像一只雪白的猫头鹰一样翱翔在风景中”,这个耗资1730万英镑的游客中心终于在去年开放,这是一个已经存在了20年的想法的高潮。该中心由慈善家和格陵兰政府资助,旨在为当地社区提供一个聚会场所,作为该镇和荒野之间的门户,并鼓励旅游业。
