| 释义 |
The Holyrood estate is a housing estate in Southampton, England. It was constructed as a new city district to replace a slum bombed in World War II, and designed by Lyons Israel Ellis, who later designed Wyndham Court. Owen Hatherley describes the estate as a "straightforward scattering of low and medium-rise Modernist blocks, using the soft-Brutalist vernacular of stock-brick and concrete." Hatherley praises the estate's layout over its aesthetic.[1] The estate is situated between Queensway to the west and Threefield Lane to the east, and Bernard Street to the south and Lime Street to the north. In 2009, a series of metal sculptures were erected around the estate in tribute to the area's role in the history of Southampton.[2] Holyrood Church, which was damaged in World War II, now serves as a memorial to the Merchant Navy.[1] In 2012 seven tiled murals depicting scenes from Southampton's history were installed on the estate's blocks, to be visible from main roads.[3][4] R&B musician Craig David, who was born in 1981, grew up in the Holyrood estate.[5]References1. ^1 {{cite book|first=Owen|last=Hatherley|authorlink=Owen Hatherley|title=A Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain|date=November 2010|publisher=Verso Books|location=New York|pages=21–22}} {{Districts of Southampton}}{{coord|50.9005|-1.3995|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/heritage/hampshireheritage/4327167.sculptures_celebrate_link_with_city___s_glorious_past/|title=Striking sculptures for Southampton's Holyrood estate|date=29 April 2009|accessdate=18 April 2012|work=Southern Daily Echo}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.24dash.com/news/housing/2012-06-08-historic-murals-transform-southampton-council-estate|title=Historic murals 'transform' Southampton council estate|date=8 June 2012|accessdate=15 April 2015|work=24dash.com}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9779130.Art_and_history_at_estate/|title=Murals brighten up Southampton's Holyrood estate|date=23 June 2012|accessdate=15 April 2015|work=Southern Daily Echo}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/hampshire/content/articles/2008/10/31/craig_david_feature.shtml|title=Craig David's Southampton|date=31 October 2008|accessdate=18 April 2012|publisher=BBC}} 3 : Housing estates in Hampshire|Areas of Southampton|Buildings and structures in Southampton |
