中心与边缘

文章重点强调了在当前英国大学教育体制下,研究在建筑学学科发展中的重要性,以及作为区别于其他人文及理科学科的特征之一,建筑学学科的研究工作应当以建筑设计作为核心内容,以对实践的价值贡献作为评价标准。进而,在研究和教学的关系上,指出设计教师批判性的实践是沟通研究和教学两者间的重要桥梁。从这一角度出发,批判性的实践无疑也是建筑学学科研究的一种独特的形式。     

Once Only the Sky was the Limit: Bangkok's Housing Boom and the Financial Crisis in Thailand

This paper explores the causes of the collapse of the housing sector in Bangkok in 1997 and its impact on the financial sector and the economy of Thailand. With the liberalisation of the Thai economy and its integration into the world economy during the 1980s and the early 1990s, real estate companies gained access to US$-nominated off-shore loans at low interest rates. Because of the availability of cheap loans and the speculative demand for housing, financial institutions and real estate developers did not conduct market research and invested in doubtful projects, resulting in an enormous oversupply of housing. The close relationship between bankers, developers and politicians ensured that the government would bail out insolvent real estate companies and financial institutions. In 1996, exports fell and the economy stopped growing due to increased international competition. Unhedged foreign debts reached dangerous levels and speculative attacks forced the government to devalue the currency. Real estate companies and financial institutions would have collapsed without continued bail-outs by the government. However, the government's non-transparent policies eroded the confidence of the general public and international investors, resulting in capital flight and a serious financial and economic crisis.     

谈建筑的审美与品评

对建筑进行审美与品评,每个人都有表达自己意见的机会,都能以自己的观点和标准,甚至是难以表达、模糊的标准,对建筑作出判断。没有必要,也没有可能划定统一的评判标准。对建筑进行审美与品评,这势必有助于公众对建筑的理解,提高他们对建筑的鉴赏能力,为建筑事业的发展和建筑艺术的繁荣提供更广阔的天地。

The Periphery and the American Dream

With the rediscovery of the periphery by architects and urbanists, a once vibrant, but recently dormant debate has been reactivated and (post)modernized. The contemporary polemic considers that the urbanistic paradigm currently operative across the metropolitan region and particularly in suburbia is producing an environment that is less than ideal. This article (re)presents some of the more salient aspects of the debate and considers several prominent alternative strategies in order to derive greater insight into a perplexing cultural dilemma: the prolonged inability of architects and urbanists to effect transformation that is synchronistic with the polemic's predominant socioeconomic and environmental perturbations. In conclusion, it advances a culturally specific strategy that offers a partial resolution.     

Patterns of Development on the Metropolitan Fringe: Urban Fringe Expansion in Bangkok,Jakarta, and Santiago

The success of any national industrial policy will depend heavily on the participation of state and local governments. Yet the financial implications for states and localities are almost overlooked in the discussion about national industrial policy. In this article I consider the ways state and local governments might be involved in industrial policy, either as autonomous actors or as partners in a coordinated national policy; and I discuss constraints and competing demands on the resources to which state and local governments would turn to support their participation in such policies. Finally I suggest a general policy framework for state and local participation that fits the objectives of national industrial policy.     

论边缘空间

对城市空间的探讨大多重主体空间而容易忽略边缘空间，边缘空间并非空间单元的结束，而是显现相邻异质空间交互特性与相互间作用的开端，它与核心空间相对存在并可能随时间与尺度的变化而相互转化。边缘空间具有异质性、中介性、前沿性、公共性与关联性等空间特征，蕴涵源于异质空间之间内在关联的边缘效应。贯穿于城市的各层级边缘空间可将各种功能单元、空间、活动联为一体，为城市空间提供良好的接续场所，赋予城市空间多重涵义与广博包容能力，并使其具有满足人的多种需求的空间品质。     

感受城市景观的细部设计

从使用者的真实感受出发,分析景观细部设计的抽象要素和具体元素的设计方法;并阐述细部同整体的关系,强调细部对于阐述整体空间感受的巨大潜能,从设计灵感来源、使用者的视觉和触觉感受与设计构思过程两方面共同推导解析;希望进一步指导实践,创造可亲、可近、舒适的人性场所,使城市公共景观更好的被人们感知和认可.     

Centring on the Olympic Fringe

Participatory Architecture on the Parisian Periphery: Lucien Kroll's Vignes Blanches

This postoccupancy evaluation of participatory architecture undertaken by Belgian architect Lucien Kroll highlights discrepancies between intention and realization. A review of Kroll's published statements as well as interviews with him and with the inhabitants reveals that neither fully obtained their desired results. This article describes the aspirations of both architect and inhabitants for this small housing development in France and their respective disappointments with the fruits of their labors. It then suggests strategies for learning from this experiment to refine participatory practices in the future.     

On the Fringe of the Economy: Migrant Street Traders in Durban

The number of migrants working on the streets of cities throughout South Africa has increased tremendously over the past few years. This study draws on qualitative data to understand the experiences of migrant street traders in Durban, South Africa. The qualitative data for the study come from in-depth interviews with local and migrant street traders. Migrant street traders are attracted to Durban because of the economic opportunities that the city offers as well as the lower crime rate than other cities. The findings suggest that migrant street traders make an economic contribution towards the development of the city. Migrants create employment by hiring locals to assist them in their businesses. Some tension exists between local and migrant street traders because of fear of competition. Crime is a concern because it impacts negatively on their businesses. Other challenges experienced by the migrant traders include the harsh treatment by the police and lack of support for informal traders by the municipality. More emphasis should be placed on providing a supportive environment for street trading in Durban.

Subdivisions and Deer Uses: Conflicts between Nature and Private Property on the Urban Fringe

This article examines a series of controversies concerning migratory deer ranges in Deschutes County, Oregon, USA, to reveal a set of tensions in the process of governing landscapes on the urban fringe. The complex and contentious processes involved in decisions concerning the zoning of these deer ranges revealed conflicts between deer migration routes, private property rights, the public good and cultural values attached to open space. These issues raised by the movement of deer and the seasonal variability of their habitat provided an opportunity to reshape the process of environmental governance on the urban fringe that was attentive to the cultural value of open space and challenged rigid property boundaries and property rights. This resulted in a fractured governance process that sought to balance private property rights, the public good, and the ecological demands of migratory deer.     

扬水曝气器外围流场的数值模拟

利用CFD软件对带顶部导流板的扬水曝气器工作时的外围流场进行了数值计算。模拟计算结果表明扬水曝气器运行时会在外围流畅形成顺时针或逆时针旋转的漩涡。导流板与水平面的夹角以及导流板淹没在水面下的长度都可以影响到漩涡的生成情况。当形成逆时针漩涡时更有利于发挥扬水曝气器的除藻功能。     

At and Beyond the Fringe: Planning Around the Australian City with Particular Reference to Adelaide

The rural-urban fringe is a distinctive feature of the Australian urban system and landscape. A range of interests there are in potential conflict in a manner that is often to the detriment of established rural activities and communities and largely the result of neglect in contemporary planning process and policy. Issues arising from this context are examined by reference to the recently completed Mount Lofty Ranges Management Plan. A number of proposals for improving planning in the fringe are outlined.     

多学科、全方位开展城乡结合部的研究

城乡结合部（城市边缘区、城乡交错带）以其过渡性、动态性、交错性而呈现特殊的土地利用、人口结构、产业特征、景观形态、空间格局,从而形成非城非乡、似城似乡、又城又乡的特有的空间区域。早在20世纪80年代中期至90年代中期,国内城市地理界和城市规划界即从城市空间结构研究中提出了城市空间的三大结构：内部结构、边缘区结构和外部结构,开展了对城市边缘区的研究,并获得了国家自然科学基金和教育部博士点基金的支持（南京大学）,

上海城市边缘区的特征研究

作为城市-乡村的交界地带,城市边缘区具有经济发展相对滞后、社会构成复杂、生态环境脆弱等特点,在开发活动的动态演变过程中,对城市整体空间结构及城市经济发展都具有十分重要的作用。作为城市化过程最为快速的地区,上海城市边缘区承载着乡村向城市转换,推动着城市结构与形态的不断发展变化。选取上海近30年的城市发展空间与数据资料作为研究基础,通过遥感、地理信息系统等技术手段,对上海边缘区空间演变情况进行分析。通过对现状演变发展情况的总结,尝试从空间、用地结构、开发项目类型3个方面对上海城市边缘区开发特征进行总结,作为国内其他城市边缘区开发的经验借鉴。
