墨尔本铜面Yardmaster大楼
这是由建筑师McBride Charles Ryan设计的Yardmaster大楼。该建筑傲然矗立在澳大利亚墨尔本，属于公共建筑的范畴。整体上看去，Yardmaster大楼犹如墨尔本市“垃圾堆”般杂乱的建筑上一个精致而又神秘的珠宝盒。这个项目在建造之前广泛征集了各方意见，包括工会代表、相关管理人员及部门，尽力避免各利益攸关方的争吵。最后建筑外观设计成一个式样简单、灵活度很高的网状结构，内部空间宽敞明亮。事实上，这个建筑是很特别的。内部重复的开窗方式使得每个房间都至少有一个特别的窗户。在周边铁路环境下建筑师在建造时要考虑到造价和建造时的各种复杂性问题。随着时间的流逝，立面的铜面板会逐渐融入环境，就好像它一直在那里或是从地里生长出来的一样。此外，这座建筑是有情绪的，随着墨尔本天气的变化，它会迅速呈现出不同的“表情”。Southern Crustacean这座建筑为人们的铁路旅行提供了另一种乐趣，同时也表明了公共基础设施的重要性，说得更广一些，人民大众很重要！
The Yardmaster’s Building confidently presents itself as a “public” entity. Viewed in the round， it offers itself back to the city as an exquisite， mysterious box: a jewel in the junk-heap. The project involved extensive consultation with representatives of the diverse users， their respective union representatives， and management and associated authorities. So that the building’s public interface would not be contingent upon the inevitable machinations of this complex stakeholders mix， the planning was contained within a simple flexible shell. Internally， the building is robust and matter of fact. A rational system of glazing integrated with the repeated external pattern allowed each room to have at least one beautiful and exotic window. The cost and complexity of constructing within a rail environment is considerable. As it ages， the patina of the facade will express its environment， as if it had always been there or simply emerged from the ground. This building is moody. With the Melbourne weather， these moods change rapidly. In providing interest and delight to the rail experience， this ‘Southern Crustacean’ is a building that says that public infrastructure matters and， by extension， that the public matter.
