令人亮眼的建筑 (?)


Language variant: "dramatic" architecture

Explanation:
Here theatre is used in the sense of "dramatic" or "awe inspiring".

The writer is walking through a neighbourhood which is full of dramatic architecture (i.e. building designs which affect him deeply, not necessarily theatres).

In other words, buildings are actors in this architectural theatre.

建筑学的戏剧性效果


Explanation:
这里的theatre没有冠词,因此指的不是剧院,而是建筑(学
)上的戏剧性效果。

下文也能证实这种理解:Suddenly, the dark street curved and opened into bright sunlight。。。
突然之间, 黑暗的街道一转,通向明亮的阳光。。。
