都市剧场─—“弗里芒特街体验”随想

位于拉斯维加斯市中心的弗里芒特街（FremonStreet），是1905年拉市诞生以来的集酒店、赌场和娱乐业为一体的中心。它不仅代表了拉斯维加斯的历史，也代表了这个城市的文化与传统。但是，随着拉斯维加斯的飞速发展，城市的中心却衰落了。“弗里芒特街体验”（FremontstreetExperience）正是为了挽救逐渐衰落的城市中心，在弗里芒特街上建构了一个具有城南尺度的都市剧场，以吸引游客和本地居民，同时把分散的赌场酒店联系到一起，形成一个完整统一的形象，提高了城市中心的吸引力。高科技多媒体技术在这个项目中与建筑设计相结合，创造了新的城市空间，为旧城的城市更新提供了一个新颖的答案。

Urban Theatre-Random Thoughts on "Fremont Street Experience

Downtown Las Vegas, the old city center, represents the history, culture,and heritage of Las Vegas. Casino Core is a district which function as a planned casino,hotel and entertainment district in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. With the development of Las Vegas as an international entertainment center,the old city center declined. In order to revitalize the declined downtown,the "Fremont Street Experience",a project of public-private partnership between City of Las Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience Company,was implemented to try to attract tourists down to downtown area and compete with casinos along the Las Vegas Boulevard. With the addition of the Fremont Street Experience,this area came together as a compact, incorporating restaurants,special gift shop and supporting entertainment uses along the Fremont Street,with continuous active frontage from one end to the other. The design of the project transformed the idea of pedestrian shopping mall into an urban theater and made downtown a complete resort destination and a must-see attraction.
