GAP办公大楼,杜塞尔多夫

本项目的城市规划目标是将新建筑融入介于Standehaus和Konigsallee街之间的历史重建区域。本项目由两座建筑组成，之间由开放的玻璃通道相连接：正处于重建中的历史保护老建筑位于Karlstadt矩形地块结构的尽端，形成Graf-Adolf-Platz广场清晰的新边界；89．5米的高层椭圆形建筑在纵轴方向上与广场的南边界平行，由此，城市空间保持开放状态，并且直接影响了绿化带，使之产生变化。     

美国纽约时代大厦

美国纽约第五大道505号楼

该建筑在结构上使用了加强的现浇混凝土,其建筑安全系数已经超过了纽约建筑标准中所规定的数值。底部一根15英尺的悬臂梁,使首层的四周不需要柱子。它创造的连续玻璃外立面不仅成功地使42街与第五大道截然不同的风格交织在一起,而且为使用者们创造了可以看到图书馆、公园以及整座城市的绝佳视点。     

城市森林

受新华集团及北大青鸟集团的委托,MAD最近在重庆市中心设计了一座高385m的城市文化综合体--"城市森林".这是MAD继多伦多Abosulte Tower、天津中钢大厦之后的第三座超高层建筑,是针对中国城市发展进程所提出的一个新的建筑观念--在中国最年轻的直辖市实现绿色立体城市,让自然重新融入未来的高密度城市,并唤起曾经寄托于古老的东方山水之间的情感.     

想起了莱茵河上的老驳船——德国美因兹凯悦酒店设计后记

背景资料1OO多年来,Fort Malakoff一直仁立在莱茵河畔,护卫着德国最重要的经济区之一美因兹.二战结束后;当地政府接管了这座建筑,但几十年来一直未曾使用它.1993年初,凯悦集团看中了这座半圆形的沙石建筑,并计划在它旁边用玻璃、钢、石块再建一座七层的现代建筑,共同组成美因兹凯悦酒店,并对外营业.它将是这个城市里第一座四星级商务酒店.

常用常新的建筑材料——玻璃

20世纪20年代,瑞士著名建筑师科比西埃曾说,建筑的历史就是窗户的历史。波利舍克合伙公司的创建者之一、建筑师詹姆斯·波利舍克认为,在世界各地的城市中拔地而起的新一代玻璃建筑中,“窗户已经打破了框架的限制”。波利舍克是美国自然历史博物馆在曼哈顿新建的罗斯地球和太空中心的主要设计者。　　漫步北京的长安街,一幢幢引人注目的新建筑,正在为玻璃赋予新的生命,远洋大洋、工商银行总行大厦、西单文化广场……一座座线条简洁的现代玻璃建筑,在阳光的照耀下闪烁着独特的魅力。90年代,当人们还在抱怨城市象水泥森林时,一些大城…     

Tamedia新办公楼,苏黎世,瑞士

<正>瑞士媒体公司Tamedia的总部项目位于苏黎世市中心。项目在一个大型街区内,占地1000m~2。集团现在的主要建筑都在这里。地段朝向街区的东部,其独特的优势在于可以朝锡尔运河形成近50m的长立面。新建筑将大体沿用原建筑拆除后的基底,同时与附近的建筑形成连续的立面,并充分利用允许的最大建筑高度,在大楼的这一侧将办公面积最大化。大楼的主入口位于韦尔德街与施陶法赫尔港大街的北角,也将成为整个建筑群的主入口。     

用“小街”串联的建筑空间——福建大田县少年之家设计构思

一、街与廊 街是城市中的联系空间,廊是建筑中的联系空间。一条街,联系着街道两侧的座座建筑;一座建筑中的廊,联系着两侧的个个房间。小镇上传统的小街,有的宽不盈丈,两厢是一间间开敞的店面,整条街道都笼罩在互相熟悉的气氛中,它好像一条不带顶的廊。廊与街的空间感觉有时很相近,且又非常丰富。

ABANDONED HOUSING AND ITS PEOPLE: THE CASE OF NEW YORK CITY*

This paper reviews the problem of housing abandonment and discusses local government responses to this issue. New York City is used as a case study because of its large number of abandoned buildings and its varied policies. A framework was developed to examine neighborhood change in terms of three dimensions: physical, social, and perceptual conditions. This approach will allow for studies to evaluate the impacts of public policies on housing abandonment and its people, thus enabling the selection of relevant and proven interventions. Such research may also facilitate local government efforts to develop policies toward preventing housing abandonment before it occurs.

SHOESTRING DEMOCRACY: GATED CONDOMINIUMS AND MARKET‐RATE COOPERATIVES IN NEW YORK

ABSTRACT: This article develops the concept of shoestring democracy as a way to characterize the resulting social relations of private governance structures embedded in two types of collective housing schemes found in New York City and the adjoining suburbs: gated condominium communities (gated condominiums) and market‐rate cooperative apartment complexes (co‐ops). Drawing from ethnographies of gated condominiums and co‐ops in New York City and neighboring Nassau County, New York, we compare these two forms of collective home ownership regarding the impact of private governance structures on residents and their sense of representation and participation in ongoing community life. “Shoestring democracy” encompasses a broad range of behaviors utilized to insulate residents from local conflicts and disagreements, and limits rather than promotes political participation. The greatest differences between the co‐ops and gated condominiums were found in discussions of safety and security, in that condominium residents have developed an elaborate discourse of the fear of crime and others, especially racialized others, to explain why they moved to their secured communities. Co‐op interviewees, on the other hand, generally felt a sense of safety in their buildings, often due to the gatekeeper effect of the co‐op board and doormen. In gated communities, covenants, contracts, and deed restrictions (CC&Rs) guarantee that most problems are resolved before they start. While the same can be said for co‐ops, interviewees find that these rules and regulations seem to mystify everyday governing practices for the average co‐op resident. Moral minimalism and a lack of structural and procedural knowledge may insulate residents from local conflicts and disagreement, but also may discourage civic participation. Exploring the apathy residents expressed about participation and a lack of representation suggests that although the Rochdale principles of cooperation that are the legal and social basis for co‐ops may have been important at one time, current practices of private governing boards do more to restrict participatory democratic practices than encourage them. The policy implications are outlined with suggestions of how to make homeowners associations and co‐op boards more accountable and encourage greater adherence to the original co‐op mandate.     

COMMUNITY INPUT AND THE CITY BUDGET: GEOGRAPHICALLY BASED BUDGETING IN NEW YORK CITY

This article examines decentralization in New York City by analyzing that city's recent experiences with community based budgeting. Specifically, using budgetary data from fiscal years 1982 through 1985, the research addresses the spatial a location of capital budget projects among New York's fifty-nine community districts each of which is represented by a community board. Borrowing from the literature on intra-city variations in the distribution of public services, we examine whether “success rates” in having local budget priorities accepted for inclusion in the city's capital budget are functions of the racial and/or economic characteristics of the community districts. Alternatively, borrowing from organizational theory, we address the same issue from the perspective of community boards' interorganizational relationships. The findings indicate that although each emphasis…social area and interorganizational…contributes independently to our understanding of spatial variations concerning local budget priorities, the latter is a more important factor than the former.

纽约现代艺术博物馆

坐落在曼哈顿中城繁华地段的现代艺术博物馆,是西方现代艺术收藏、展示和研究的最著名机构之一,对建筑同行来说,它与“国际式”一词的紧密联系,使它具有极其特殊的历史形象,在20世纪末年,“解构主义”建筑展的举行,让它在颠覆自身历史形象的同时,显示出前瞻及诱导建筑和艺术发展的持续野心,本文简要回顾它在过去70年间,在收藏、运营、策划和馆舍建设与改造方面经历的变化,分析这一规模庞大的混血建筑综合体在保守的外表之下,力求平衡艺术,技术和社会时尚多方面因素的努力,现代艺术博物馆的成长变迁,也是当代艺术之都纽约特有的商业文化的再现。     

响应区域洪涝灾害的城市公园系统规划 与建设研究——解读纽约城市公园系统的构成 模块、建设统筹与执行策略

在区域洪涝灾害频发的背景下，城市公园系统的规划与建设是城市防灾减灾体系中的重要一环。2012年，台风桑迪(Sandy)给纽约造成了人员伤亡、电力设施受损、交通系统瘫痪、城际交通中断、海水倒灌导致的内涝等诸多后果，促使整个社会开始思考防灾抗灾应对措施及城市自身韧性和适应性问题。基于该背景，以纽约市2013、2015年总体规划和2016、2017、2018、2019年总体规划实施的评估版本为基础，从构成模块、建设统筹、执行策略方面进行比较，解读和分析总体规划为导向下的响应区域洪涝灾害的纽约城市公园系统。分析发现，纽约市总体城市规划在落实“规划前评估”“规划中监控”“规划后评价”方面形成持续跟踪、协同、补充的动态监控式评价机制。在该机制主导下，执行部门构建、量化和细化基于上位总体规划的“愿景-策略-行动”指标体系，形成依托纽约城市公园系统的可操作性强的政策与行动，从而助力于响应区域洪涝灾害的城市建设和城市可持续发展的总体目标。
