逆天设计:罗马剧场建到悉尼港了?

Landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, and the Colosseum put their countries on the map, attracting millions of tourists from all over the world. But what the Statue of Liberty was moved to Rio de Janeiro, or the pyramids were built in the middle of Sydney Harbour?That is exactly what the DesignCrowd have asked people to imagine, in a competition to create the best shots of famous attractions in the wrong places.
通常,地标性建筑如埃菲尔铁塔和罗马剧场等使其所在国家闻名于世,吸引了世界各地上百万的旅游参观者。但是如果将自由女神像移植到里约热内卢或者将金字塔建在悉尼港会是什么样呢?这正是DesignCrowd网站想要发动人们想象的,这场比赛鼓励参赛者创造出最棒的将标志性建筑安插在错误地点的图片。

That's not where she lives! The Statue of Liberty looks over Rio de Janeiro in Brazil instead. The Golden Gate Bridge can also be seen in the distance
她是不是呆错地方了!自由女神像俯瞰巴西里约热内卢,还有远处的金门大桥依稀可见

From first glance the pictures are instantly recognisable, but then it becomes apparent that the scenes look odd as the clever designs have seamless moved landmarks around the world. So far the online competition has received 94 submissions with compositions moving the Eiffel Tower to Germany, and Moscow's Saint Basil's Cathedral to the Egyptian desert.Instead of Christ the Redeemer overlooking Rio de Janeiro, it is New York's Lady Liberty who watches over the city. Not only that, but in another creative shot, she is standing watch over Sydney Harbour.
乍一看这些图片似曾相识,但是当你仔细看又会觉得有些奇怪,这些聪明的设计者将世界各地的地标天衣无缝地镶嵌在图片里,让你很难辨认。到目前为止,这项在线活动已经收到94部作品,包括将埃菲尔铁塔移至到德国、将莫斯科瓦西里升天大教堂移到埃及沙漠中,还有俯视里约热内卢的不是基督救世主而是自由女神。不仅仅是这些,在另一幅图中,自由女神还俯瞰美丽的悉尼港。

Although it is just a bit of fun, the top designs have earned their creators a nice sum of money too. The first place prize of £142 was awarded to designer Rijan Hamidovic, for his photo transporting Saint Basil's Cathedral in the place of the pyramids. It is not the first time the company have launched a competition asked designers to move landmarks. A few months ago submissions were open for talented individuals to digitally remove them altogether, leaving gaping holes in famous spots.
尽管只是为了搏人一笑,但其中的最佳设计作品还赢得了一笔不错的奖金。获得第一名的是瑞建·哈米德沃克,他的作品将瓦西里升天大教堂安放在了金字塔的位置,并赢得了142英镑(约合1370人民币)。这已经不是DesignCrowd第一次发动这样的活动了。几个月之前该公司还曾发起过让天才设计师们通过数字手段移除地标建筑的活动,故意在著名景点处留下一块空缺。

Egypt's pyramids have been imposed on the Sydney Harbour skyline, and with the altered sunset behind, doesn't look too out of place.

The camels have flocked to a pyramid...but the wrong one, instead ending up in Paris at the Louvre.
骆驼们蜂拥走向金字塔,但好像有点不对,这个是巴黎卢浮宫外的仿金字塔建筑吧。
