外滩源,顾名思义,是上海外滩的源头,其街区位于外滩北端,苏州河和黄浦江交汇处。开埠初期,英领馆出于军事上的考虑,从上海县城迁至此处,街区由此开始发展。其最大的特征在于其无可比拟的多元性,这种多元不仅仅体现在表象的建筑外观,更深层次地体现在不同的历史使用功能。外现于建筑类型的多元,体现在各种文化资源集中于这片南北狭长地块,不断衍生出令人叹为观止的文化之花。 The Bund source, as the name implies, is the source of the Shanghai Bund and its block is located at the northern end of the Bund and at the confluence of the Suzhou River and the Huangpu River. The beginning of the port, the British consulate for military considerations, moved from Shanghai to here, the block began to develop. Its greatest feature lies in its unparalleled diversity, which is not only reflected in the architectural appearance of appearance, but also embodied in different historical functions. Outside the diversity of architectural types, reflected in a variety of cultural resources concentrated in this piece of north-south strip of land, continue to derive a breathtaking flower of culture.
