The Sydney Opera House is the mother and father of all modern landmark buildings. Although

its architect was forced to resign and it was never properly finished inside, the opera house has come to define not only a city, but also an entire nation and continent. The Sydney Opera House was meant to look like a giant sailing ship. But you may bring whatever interpretation you would to it.// Since its opening in 1973, the Sydney Opera House has been host to many of the most memorable, world-class artistic performances. However, as time goes by, modifications are required to meet the needs and technology of the day, without, of course, losing its architectural integrity. The New South Whales government has agreed to provide $69. 3 million for several projects to improve the facilities and environment for performing arts companies, patrons and visitors.//

Studying in Sydney, Australia—an Overview for International Students Australia has been a

Studying in Sydney, Australia—an Overview for International Students

Australia has been a popular choice for thousands of international students over many years. Australia's universities and colleges have become increasingly recognized overseas for their exceptionally high standard. In addition, Australia is conveniently close to South-East Asia (Jakarta, the capital of Australia's closest Asian neighbor, Indonesia, is only 5,506 kilometers from Sydney). Revised entry procedures for overseas students have made it possible for an increasing number to study in Australia. Sydney, the largest Australian city, is the principal port of call for international airlines with services operating to Australia.

Named after an ex-Governor of New South Wales, Sydney is the state's capital, city. Located in the south-east of Australia in the temperate zone (温带), it enjoys a mild climate, averaging 14.5 hours of sunshine per day in summer and 10.25 hours in winter. It is also the largest, oldest, and perhaps most beautifully situated city in Australia. First established by the British as a convict settlement in 1788, it is a modem cosmopolitan (世界性的) city that has developed into one of the nation's major industrial, business, and manufacturing centers.

Sydney is home to nearly 4.4 million people (as of 1997). The suburbs reach out from the city center and harbor some 55 km to the north, 35 km to the west and 30 km to the south, creating a metropolitan (大城市) area of about 3,000 square kilometers. The 57 square kilometer harbor is one of the largest in the world, and famous for the unmistakable 134 meter high arch of the Harbor Bridge and the graceful sails of the Opera House. It is a busy waterway with ferries, freighters, hydrofoils (水翼船) and pleasure craft.

Not far from the city center are the attractive old residential suburbs of Balmain, Glebe, and Paddington, where many people live in smart terraced houses, art galleries, pubs, and restaurants abound in(充满)the cozy streets that tend to be quite narrow, whereas the suburbs surrounding the city's colleges and universities consist mainly of family homes and multiunit blocks, an ideal situation for students looking for a home-stay, or to rent. Sydney's newer suburbs now have a large multicultural population, and local shopping centers reflect the influences of many cultures.

Sydney is home to the State Art Gallery of New South Wales, the state Conservatorium of Music, the Australian Opera, the Sydney Dance Company, and the Australian Ballet. The world-class Sydney Symphony Orchestra offers superb classical music all year round. Local theatre is innovative and well supported, and large-scale overseas productions tour regularly.

As well as scores of cinemas and theatres throughout the city and suburbs, there are numerous clubs which appeal to people of all ages, and cater for (迎合) all tastes. Pubs are the venue (集合地点) for smaller modern bands, while the big-name popular music artists, both local and international, attract capacity audiences at the huge Entertainment Center in the heart of the city.

Dining out

In Sydney, a vast array of ethnic and local restaurants can be found to suit all palates (口味) and pockets. In summer, caf6 patrons (顾客) often sit outside at tables under umbrellas, and enjoy the passing parade of shoppers. Students who prefer to cook at home can choose from several large weekend markets, where fresh fruit, fish, and vegetables may he bought more cheaply than at the local supermarket. Sydney also has its own Chinatown.

Shopper's delight

In the heart of the city are several big department stores linked by enclosed over-the-street crossings and underground walkways. Most noticeable are the towering Centrepoint Complex and the Queen Victoria Building, both containing many shopping arcades (拱廊), coffee shops and restaurants. Out

Zaha Hadid Wins Pritzker Architecture PrizeFor the first time in its 25-year history, the

Zaha Hadid Wins Pritzker Architecture Prize

For the first time in its 25-year history, the coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize has been won by a woman, a Baghdad-born designer whose relatively small collection of Modernist works has vaulted her into the top league of a profession dominated by men.

Zaha Hadid, who is based in London, becomes only the third Briton to win what is sometimes de-scribed as the architecture world's equivalent of the Nobel Prize, organizers said on Sunday. At 53, she is also one of the youngest Pritzker laureates.

Hadid's built works include a fire station in Weilam Rhein, Germany, a car park in Strasbourg, France and a ski jump in Innsbruck, Austria. While seemingly quotidian in nature, these works showcase her bold use of space and geometry to mirror the complexity of urban living.

Her sole completed U.S. project, the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, opened last year. Hailed as an "urban oasis" by The New York Times, the eight-story comer structure looks like a collection of interlocking boxes perched delicately above the glass-enclosed downtown entrance.

Somewhat controversially, Hadid does not have any completed projects in the capital city of her adopted country. Indeed, her career has been marked by several highprofile setbacks. Most notably, political infighting scuppered her radical design for the Cardiff Bay Opera House in Wales in 1995, an episode that turned her into frontpage news in Britain.

In an interview with Reuters, Hadid said she has been stigmatized in Britain, where her firm wins plenty of competitions, such as the Cardiff Bay project, but rarely sees them turned into reality because of "dodgy" roles that allow the organizers to take a different course.

The citation from the Pritzker jury said Hadid's path to worldwide recognition has been a "heroic struggle." In an additional comment, Jury chairman Lord Rothschild referred to "the forces of conservatism'' for her inability to complete a building in London.

The Pritzker Prize was established in 1979 by the Pritzker family, the Chicago-based clan that owns the Hyatt hotel chain, as a means of honoring a living architect whose built works, among other things, produce "consistent and significant contributions to humanity."

The inaugural winner was Philip Johnson, the first of seven American honorees. The other British winners were James Stirling in 1981 and Lord Foster in 1999. Last year's winner was Jan Utzon, the Danish designer of the Sydney Opera House.

The prize, consisting of a bronze medallion and a $ 100,000 check is handed out at a different location each year. The ceremony for Hadid will take place at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Peters burg, Russia on May 31.

While the British establishment may be slow to embrace Hadid's radical stylings, she has plenty of fans in other parts of the world. In the United States, she is working on the Price Tower Arts Center, to be built in the shadow of Frank Lloyd Wright's 19story building in Bartlesville, Okla. Hadid is also one of the five finalists—and the sole Briton—selected to design the proposed 2012 Olympic Village in New York City.

In Europe, current projects include the main building for a new BMW plant in the German city of Leipzig, and the MAXXI contemporary arts center in Rome. Asian developments include a Guggenheim museum in Taiwan and an opera house in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou.

One part of the world where she has yet to leave her mark is Baghdad, which boasted examples of several early Modernist projects when she was growing up.

"I think it would be nice to do something there eventually, only because it's actually a rather nice city," Hadid said, noting that things may have changed a little in the 24 years since she was last ther
