亚太地区一位非常著名的建筑师呼吁人们反对损害阿德雷德传统城市声誉的改变。

　　Hijjas Kasturi曾于1960-1963年就读于阿德雷德大学，现已逐步成为马来群岛最著名的建筑师之一，负责亚太地区一些极具特色的高层建筑。

　　他将在阿德雷德停留一个星期，做一场题为“在建筑中寻找恒等式”的免费演讲（5月21日晚上7：30），并举办一个陈列展来展示他所在的公司在过去30年里的杰出作品的模为了能与世界上其它地方同步而去改变这个城市的结构和建筑，这是完全没有必要的，阿德雷德有它自己的特性，坚固、有序、建设得当。人们必须顺应未来的发展，也必须保护那些数代人创造的具有象征性和历史情感的地方。”

　　Kasturi先生是接受阿德雷德大学遗产基金会的邀请来到阿德雷德访问的。他的到访将提高人们对阿德雷德传统建筑的独特性的认识，其中也包括很多阿德雷德大学的传统建筑。

　　One of the greatest architects in the Asia-Pacific has warned against making changes that would damage Adelaide's reputation as a heritage city.

　　Hijjas Kasturi was a student at the University of Adelaide from 1960-63 and has gone on to become one of the most prominent architects in Malaysia, responsible for some of the Asia-Pacific's most distinctive high-rise buildings.

　　He is returning to Adelaide for one week to give a free public lecture, "In Search of Identity in Architecture" (7.30pm tonight, Monday 21 May), and to launch an exhibition showcasing some of the best examples of 30 years of his company's work. The free exhibition will be held at the University of Adelaide from 21-25 May.

　　"It isn't necessary to change the texture and fabric of the city just because you want to keep up with the rest of the world, because Adelaide has its own uniqueness: solid, orderly and well established. One has to be sympathetic in future development, so as not to demolish the image and familiarity of a place that has taken generations to create."

　　Mr Kasturi is visiting Adelaide at the invite of the University of Adelaide's Heritage Foundation. His visit will help to raise awareness of the distinctiveness of Adelaide's heritage buildings, including the many heritage buildings at the University of Adelaide..
