ʻO Antwerp, he kūlanakauhale eclectic: ma waena o ka hale hoʻolālā hou a me nā hale mōʻaukala

Aia ma ka ʻākau o Belegiuma, ʻo Antwerp kahi kūlanakauhale i hui pū ʻia me nā hale hoʻolālā hou a me nā hale mōʻaukala. ʻO kēia hui ʻokoʻa e hoʻolilo iā Antwerp i wahi kaulana no ka poʻe aloha i ke kiʻi, ka mōʻaukala a me ka hoʻolālā.

Aia ma ka puʻu o ke kūlanakauhale ka moku kaulana, i kapa ʻia ʻo Old Town. Ua piha kēia wahi i nā hale nani, mai ka wā kahiko a me ka Renaissance. ʻO Antwerp's Grand Place kahi hale kiʻi kiʻi ʻoiaʻiʻo, me kona mau hale guild i hoʻonani ʻia. ʻO ka Maison des Brasseurs, ka Maison des Chats a me ka Maison des Diamants he mau hiʻohiʻona wale nō ia o kēia mau hale mōʻaukala e hōʻike ana i ka wā hanohano o ke kūlanakauhale.

Akā ʻaʻole ʻo Antwerp kahi kūlanakauhale i paʻa i ka wā ma mua. ʻO ia hoʻi kahi hānau o nā mea kākau moʻomeheu hou i waiho i kā lākou hōʻailona ma ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o ka hoʻolālā hou i Antwerp, ʻo ia ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o Contemporary Art, i hoʻolālā ʻia e ka mea kākau kaulana Dutch, ʻo Rem Koolhaas. ʻO kēia hale wiwo ʻole a me ka futuristic he mea hana ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka hoʻolālā o kēia wā.

Ma waho aʻe o ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike o Contemporary Art, aia ʻo Antwerp i nā hale hou hou e pono ke ʻike. ʻO ka Antwerp Conference and Exhibition Center, i ʻike ʻia ʻo "Het Zuid", kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi o ka hana hoʻolālā hou. Aia kēia hale kūkulu hale i ke kikowaena hālāwai kūkā, nā hale hōʻikeʻike a me nā keʻena, i hoʻohui ʻia i loko o kahi hoʻolālā avant-garde.

ʻO ka hele wāwae ʻana ma nā alanui o Antwerp, hiki i kekahi ke ʻike i nā mea hoʻonaninani e like me ka Stoclet House, i hoʻolālā ʻia e ka mea kākau Belgian ʻo Joseph Hoffmann. He waiwai huna maoli kēia hale Art Nouveau, me kona alo i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kumu pua a me kona mau loko nani.

Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ka hale hana ka waiwai o Antwerp. Kaulana nō hoʻi ke kūlanakauhale no kāna ʻoihana hana, me nā mea hoʻolālā kaulana e like me Dries Van Noten a me Ann Demeulemeester e kōkua ana i ka hana ʻana iā Antwerp i kapena kiʻi. ʻO ka MoMu, ka Hale Hōʻikeʻikeʻo Antwerp Fashion, he wahi hikiʻole ke hoʻokuʻuʻia no ka poʻe hoihoi, me kāna mau hōʻikeʻike i hoʻolaʻaʻia i nā mea hoʻolālā Belgian a me nā honua.

Ma waho aʻe o ke ʻano, ʻike ʻia ʻo Antwerp no kāna awa, ʻo ia kekahi o nā awa nui loa ma ʻEulopa. ʻO kēia awa kaulana, aia ma ka Scheldt, he hana koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻomohala waiwai o ke kūlanakauhale. I kēia mau lā, hiki ke ʻike i nā moku ukana e holo ana ma ka Scheldt, e hāʻawi ana i ke kaona i kahi lewa moana kū hoʻokahi.

ʻO ka hope loa, he kūlanakauhale waiwai moʻomeheu ʻo Antwerp, me nā hale hōʻikeʻike he nui, nā hale kiʻi kiʻi a me nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni. ʻO ka Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp ka hale o kahi hōʻiliʻili hoihoi o nā mea hana, mai nā haku Flemish e like me Rubens a me Van Dyck, a i nā mea pena kiʻi Belgian o kēia wā.

I ka hopena, he kūlanakauhale ʻo Antwerp e hui pū me ka hoʻolālā hou a me nā hale mōʻaukala. Ua piha kona apana mōʻaukala i nā waiwai hoʻolālā, ʻoiai ʻo kona mau hale hou e hōʻike ana i ka noʻonoʻo a me ka wiwo ʻole o kāna mau mea hoʻolālā. Akā ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o Antwerp ma mua o ke kūlanakauhale o ka hoʻolālā ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi ʻano kapikala, kahi awa mōʻaukala a me kahi kikowaena moʻomeheu. ʻO kahi kipa i Antwerp he huakaʻi maoli ia ma o ka mōʻaukala, ka hana kiʻi a me ka hoʻolālā.
