【新唐人2012年1月13日讯】沈阳方圆大厦入选“全球最丑”的十大建筑之一，美国有线电视新闻CNN旗下的网站，公布这项评选结果后，在网上引发了广泛关注。方圆大厦外型是中国的古钱币“孔方兄”，网友表示，远看不美，近看压抑，意味金钱至上。而大陆学者认为，通过这个结果，正说明了大陆现在传统文化遗失、中共官员文化低下、追求怪异的现状。
美国有线电视新闻（CNN）旗下的生活旅游网站，选出全球十大最具争议的建筑物，朝鲜的柳京饭店、迪拜的阿特兰蒂斯酒店、中国沈阳的方圆大厦等榜上有名。
沈阳方圆大厦位于中国辽宁省沈阳市，地处沈阳金融商贸开发区，由台湾李祖源建筑事务所设计，共24层，正立面为中国“古钱币”外形，是一座写字楼。
组织评选的CNN生活旅游网站认为，沈阳方圆大厦试图融合东西方风格，然而大厦的玻璃窗和混凝土基座却显得极不协调。
山东大学退休教授孙文广表示，中国现在的文化，多少年来缺少一种自由的空气。文化水平很低下，低俗的东西很多。
孙文广：“说明当前中国官场上，它这个腐败，表现在方方面面。建筑方面就是求大，求怪异，不是讲究实用。那么这样就会出现这样一个建筑。而且这个建筑就是一个铜钱，当中是方的，周围是圆的。那就是向钱看，大陆很多官场就是这样，平常就追求金钱第一。”
孙文广教授指出，官员大量收上来的税收，被他们讲排场、盖高楼的挥霍。官家富了，而一般的民众却穷了。
访民张师君因为土地被强拆而连年上访，他表示，11年了，政府一分钱都不给。
张师君：“上访你到哪里去，它一到开会软禁、把你软禁在家，软禁到宾馆，软禁到郊区什么地方，像集中营一样的，不让你出去。”
另外，网路票选的第二届“中国十大丑陋建筑”评比结果日前出炉，除了上海世博会中国馆、西安新法门寺和央视大楼新楼，排名前三位以外，专门抄袭世界著名建筑的江苏江阴市“华西村”也榜上有名。网民嘲笑各地花钱兴建的所谓“创意设计”，实际是不伦不类。
孙文广：“他宁愿把钱去建一个形象的工程，摆阔气的，显气派的这么一个工程，那么又对一般贫苦的居民，对他们的生活视若罔闻，不去关注，不舍得拿出钱来去给他们改善生活，这是一种非常明显的一种反差。”
世博中国馆，荣膺网路票选的最丑陋建筑之首，网民的评语是：交错穿插像一堆柴，支了几根棍子，有如方形鸟窝。排第二的西安新法门寺被指毫无佛门味道﹔第三的北京央视大楼新楼，被讥讽有如两只分开的脚，下面放个马桶就更完美了！

Fangyuan Building 9th Ugliest In the World
The Fangyuan Building in Shenyang was ranked in the top
ten ugliest global buildings, released by CNN Go website.
The news drew widespread concerns online.
The building’s appearance is like an ancient Chinese coin.
Online comments say it is unattractive from afar,
and depressing from near, glorifying money supremacy.
Scholars believe the outcome indicates China’s status quo,
traditional culture loss, and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials’ vulgar and weird pursuits.
CNN’s leisure and travel site, CNN Go, selected the top ten
most controversial buildings in the world.
North Korea’s Ryugyong Hotel, Dubai’s Atlantis Hotel and
the Fangyuan Building in Shengyang, China, made the list.
The Fangyuan Building is located in the Finance
and Trade Zone of Shenyang, Liaoning Province.
Designed by Taiwan-based C.Y. Lee & Partners, the 24-floor
building has its facade built in a shape of ancient Chinese coin.
The building’s designer endeavored to fuse East and West.
Yet, “The circular design looks incongruous while the plate
glass windows and concrete base are depressingly run-of-the-mill,” CNN Go says.
Sun Wenguang, a retired professor at Shandong University,
comments on the issue.
Over the years, the culture in China has lacked free air.
The expression of culture became rather vulgar.
Prof. Sun: “This shows that China’s officialdom corruption
has been manifested in many ways.
All the constructions go after large and weird effects,
instead of expediency.
This building is a coin, round with a central square hole.
It implies to turn toward money.
The mainland’s officialdom is just like this,
the pursuit of money is usually their first priority.”
Prof. Sun said that huge tax revenue has been squandered
for showy displays and tall buildings.
The wealthy officials get wealthier
while the general public gets poorer.
Petitioner Zhang Shijun suffered forcible home demolition
by Shanghai’s CCP authorities.
Zhang reflects that the authorities have not given him
a penny compensation for the past 11 years.
Zhang Shijun: “You have no place to petition. Whenever they
hold conference, they’ll put you under house arrest.
Or you’ll be locked into a hotel room,
or somewhere like a concentration camp in a suburb."
The second online poll for “China’s top ten ugliest buildings"
was recently released.
Shanghai World Expo China Pavilion, Xi’an New Famen
Temple and CCTV Tower ranked as the top three.
“Huaxi Village” in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province, also made
the list, known for plagiarizing a world famous building design.
Netizens mocked that the “creative designs" touted
and funded by the local authorities are neither fish nor fowl.
Prof. Sun: “It prefers to pour money into building
show-off projects, yet ignoring the poor residents’ needs.
This has created a very sharp contrast."
World Expo China Pavilion tops the list
of China’s ugliest buildings.
Netizens comment that it is staggered intersections like a pile
of wood, with a few sticks standing like a square nest.
The second ugliest is Xi’an New Famen Temple,
which was accused of lacking Buddhist nature.
The third one, Beijing-based CCTV Tower, was satire like
two separated legs, that will go well with a toilet underneath.
