新南威尔士达灵港悉尼展览中心

悉尼展览中心是澳大利亚第一个大型展览中心，它是达灵港开发区三大公共建筑之一。该开发区和悉尼中心商业区相邻。展览中心为庆祝1988 年澳大利亚建国二百周年而建。它由五个互相连通的大厅组成，每个大厅5 000m2。

该中心的设计构思主要由四个目的形成：第一要继承展览中心的传统，历史上展览中心的结构，都很新颖，例如早年Joseph Paxton 设计的伦敦水晶宫用预制铁框架和玻璃建成。第二，要与旁边的新公园建立起联系。第三，表现历史港口海洋主题。最后，它的跨度要达到100m，但建筑的比例不应太大。

The Sydney Exhibition Centre was the first major exhibition centre to be built in Australia. It comprises five interconnected halls, each of 5,000 square metres. It is one of the three public buildings undertaken by the practice in the Darling Harbour Redevelopment Area, adjacent to Sydney‘s central business district and constructed to celebrate Australian‘s 1988 Bicentenary. The concept for the centre principally arose from four objectives. The first was to continue the tradition of structurally innovative exhibition centres dating back to Joseph Paxton‘s steel, wood and glass at Crystal Palace in London. The second was to establish an integral relationship with a new park stretched along one frontage. Thirdly, it sought to convey a distinctive maritime theme conducive to an historic port, and finally it needed to achieve 100 metre spans without resulting in a massively scaled building. The total project, from design concept to completion, took only 32 months.
