布村摩登建筑一二
又是一年蓝花楹的季节，特于某日前往New Farm打探今年蓝花楹开花情况。可花没怎么开，倒是意外发现了隐藏于大片土不喇叽Queenslander之中的几处摩登小品。特别是一栋名叫Coronet Flats的30年代公寓，令我无可救药地倾倒在它装饰主义风格的耀眼光芒下。。
折线的立面，令整个建筑洋溢着一股理性主义气息，非常干练，然而比例上又不失厚重。
立面细部装饰的几何图案抽象自玛雅文明的图腾，这又是装饰主义的活标本呀。。入口的设计也令人联想到玛雅神庙。。
另外一栋令我驻足的摩登小品。流线形的现代主义元素，老远就抓住了人们的视线。
之后又回家维基了一下，Coronet Flats果然大有来头，这栋完工于1933年的高级公寓，被认为是二十世纪三十年代New Farm最漂亮的标志性建筑之一。
Coronet Flats was completed in November, 1933 and was described at the time as having "the architectural dignity of a mansion"[1]. Max Strickland, Melbourne businessman and building developer, determined that Brisbane was lacking "up-to-date, well serviced" flats and contracted to have Coronet Flats built. Initially, Strickland planned an extension to be constructed adjacent (probably at 999 Brunswick Street) that would double the size of the building if the development proved successful. The two buildings would have formed a courtyard between them for a swimming pool, extra garages, and laundries.[2] This is probably where the alternative name "Coronet Court" is derived. This was never realised with Strickland constructing a detached house on the site at a later date. The building was very popular at the time (with four of the nine flats let prior to completion) and remains so today. Strickland sold the building in 1939, since when it has stayed within the O'Connor family.
而巧的是，文中提到的Brunswick街999号，就是上面第三张图里的建筑，依然是一栋现代主义风格的标本。
