Princes Square is a shopping centre on Buchanan Street in central Glasgow, Scotland. It was first designed and built in the 1840s by John Baird and other architects. It was developed in 1988 to a design by Edinburgh architects, the Hugh Martin Partnership. The new five-storey, 10,450-square-metre (112,500 sq ft) retail centre occupies a pre-existing cobbled Princes square dating from 1841, which was reconfigured by enclosing the entire space below a new clear glass domed and vaulted roof. An expansion was completed in summer 1999, extending the centre into Springfield Court and providing a further 1,860 square metres (20,000 sq ft) of retail area and a new retail frontage to Queen Street.

  • 王子广场(Princes Square)是苏格兰格拉斯哥市中心布坎南街的一个购物中心。它最初建于1840年代,由约翰·贝尔德和其他建筑师设计。1986年由爱丁堡建筑师休·马丁事务所设计开发。新的五层楼的零售中心10,450-平方米(112,500-平方英尺)占据了一个1841年建成的鹅卵石广场,重新配置新的透明玻璃穹顶和拱形屋顶下方的整个空间。扩建工程于1999年夏季完成,将中心扩展至春田苑(Springfield Court),增加了1,860平方米(20,000平方英尺)的零售面积,及皇后街的新零售店面。 作家比尔·布莱森把王子广场称为“城市更新中最聪明的作品之一”。 休·马丁事务所因王子广场赢得了几个设计奖项,包括RIBA苏格兰建筑学奖(1988年),爱丁堡建筑协会百年纪念奖章(1989年)和公民信任奖(1989)。1970年列为B类登录建筑加以保护。 (zh)

  • Princes Square is a shopping centre on Buchanan Street in central Glasgow, Scotland. It was first designed and built in the 1840s by John Baird and other architects. It was developed in 1988 to a design by Edinburgh architects, the Hugh Martin Partnership. The new five-storey, 10,450-square-metre (112,500 sq ft) retail centre occupies a pre-existing cobbled Princes square dating from 1841, which was reconfigured by enclosing the entire space below a new clear glass domed and vaulted roof. An expansion was completed in summer 1999, extending the centre into Springfield Court and providing a further 1,860 square metres (20,000 sq ft) of retail area and a new retail frontage to Queen Street. The original cellars of the existing buildings were excavated to provide additional space. Inside the square, new galleries and stairs give access to the upper storeys. The original sandstone facades were preserved around the modern interior. The centre is adorned with decorative glass, tiling, lighting, timber and metalwork, designed by artists and craftsmen. The writer Bill Bryson referred to Princes Square as "one of the most intelligent pieces of urban renewal". The Hugh Martin Partnership earned several design awards for Princes Square, including the RIBA Scottish Regional Award for Architecture (1988), the Edinburgh Architectural Association Centenary Medal (1989), and a Civic Trust Award (1989). In 2016, it was voted Scotland's best building of the last 100 years. The original fabric has been protected as a category B listed building since 1970. (en)
