The Australian War Memorial on London’s Hyde Park Corner (2003) was the first erected on that key ceremonial site since the 1920s. It marks Australia’s participation as a Commonwealth ally in the two world wars and the continuing close relationship between the two countries. Its origins were in the commemoration of the centenary of Australian Federation in 2000–1, but it gained added significance and geographical prominence when Australia and the United Kingdom became allies again in the ‘War on Terror’. The memorial is an interactive post-modern Denkmal, designed to be read in a number of ways, including using smartphone technology. This article describes its origins, design and rationale.

阅读澳大利亚战争纪念馆，伦敦海德公园角

位于伦敦海德公园角的澳大利亚战争纪念馆（2003 年）是自 1920 年代以来第一座在该重要仪式地点竖立的纪念碑。它标志着澳大利亚作为英联邦盟友参与了两次世界大战以及两国之间持续的密切关系。它的起源是为了纪念 2000-1 年澳大利亚联邦成立一百周年，但当澳大利亚和英国在“反恐战争”中再次成为盟友时，它获得了额外的意义和地理优势。纪念馆是一个互动的后现代 Denkmal，旨在以多种方式阅读，包括使用智能手机技术。本文描述了它的起源、设计和基本原理。
