Blairgowrie: The Meaning of Place

Defining the meaning of a specific place is difficult. Blairgowrie is a peaceful and naturally protected beach haven on the Nepean Peninsula on the tip of the Mornington Peninsula, in Victoria, Australia. When a major development is perceived as threatening the quality of place, it is perhaps already too late to begin to name its characteristics or particular attributes. The evocative and poetic qualities of Blairgowrie do not reveal themselves immediately. Only over a period of time, and by visiting at various times of the day in all seasons, can one begin to fathom its moods, its soul, its many colours; and to touch its memories. Here sea and sky can meet, or divide, totally unobstructed, depending on climatic conditions, seasonal weather patterns and diurnal changes. It is still possible to get a sense of scale and wide-angle limitless vision. When a Safe Boat Harbour was proposed for Blairgowrie, residents came out in force to voice their objections or their support. A tribunal hearing was put in place. In light of the dismissal of qualitative data, of reflective experiential material, of community opinion, of values of the 'other' in planning tribunal hearings, this paper attempts to build a case for putting into words 'the meaning of place'. The Safe Boat Harbour proposal was the catalyst for this exploration of 'meaning of place', and is not itself primarily the subject of this paper. This very personal paper begins to examine the meaning of this place. Through images, perceptions, and representations; through time; history, topography; flora and fauna: it attempts to find a way of coming to terms with this extraordinary land/seascape. In the long term this project aims to produce relevant, authoritative, and defensible research that provides the context and rationale for the selection and assessment of places of outstanding heritage significance. Further, it will provide a case study in support of new planning regulations for 'place' zones (Mant, 2001) rather than the generic land use zones, which are current in Victoria.

Reinterpreting Sustainable Architecture: The Place of Technology

This paper examines the relationships between diverse technical design strategies and competing conceptions of ecological place making. It highlights the conceptual challenges involved in defining what we mean by calling a building "green" and outlines a social constructivist perspective on the development of sustainable architecture. The paper identifies six alternative logics of ecological design which have their roots in competing conceptions of environmentalism, and explores the ways in which each logic prefigures technological strategies and alternative visions of sustainable places. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of the contested nature of ecological design for architectural education, practice, and research.     

场所的复杂性——对天津的跨文化解读

分析天津的新城市图景,解读隐含在天津现代城市视觉文化中的中西对话,通过关于视觉与时间的观念来思考场所的复杂性问题。对天津而言,＂现代性＂是一个复杂的概念,其独特的城市视觉文化是跨文化交流过程的产物。19世纪天津的城市景观超越了国界,多种异域文化并存。每个殖民国家都拥有自己的特定（西方的）视觉认同,并移植到这一东方语境中。这种视觉认同如今被视为这座城市全球化的起点。当下天津城市发展的策略,一方面是更新这些＂移植＂空间,另一方面力图提升作为一个国际都市的现代特征。那些欧洲古典建筑的美学特征在新的城市语境中再现生机。这种新的城市视觉文化是天津作为一个国际都市的明确标识,并且是在经济层面和象征意义上加以运作的一种资源,跨文化交流的过程藉此得以完成。     

The Place of Planning in Local Government: Discussion

Redevelopment and relocation procedures in large American cities frequently benefit the redevel-oper and his tenants more than the site residents. In the project analyzed here, the neighborhood chosen for clearance is a low-rent area, rather than a slum, since the majority of the structures and facilities cannot be proved to be harmful to their inhabitants or to the city. In addition to losing their neighborhood, the 2,800 households on the site are subsidizing the redevelopment by the involuntary payment of a number of economic, social, and psychological costs because of inadequate relocation planning. Recommendations to correct serious inequities in all phases of renewal procedures are suggested.     

Karalee Rock: The Formation of Place and Identity

Karalee Rock is a location deep in the Western Australian bush between Southern Cross and Coolgardie. It is a natural landscape that has been scarred by water engineering and industrial use and is a well used local recreation area and tourist destination. Karalee offers a contained setting in which to discuss the role of identity in the processes of place formation and the importance of recognising and understanding places in the redevelopment of urban environments.     

场所营造的多样性研究——以混合用途为基础

Making the Unfamiliar Familiar: Research Journeys towards Understanding Migration and Place

Understanding the ways people respond to place in an inter-cultural context is a rich and rewarding process. The knowledge-discovery journey can involve different modes of transport and multiple and various routes. The qualitative vehicle, although soft in its steering and often circular in direction, provides opportunities to explore landscapes that one rarely sees in single-trajectory intellectual travel. Using hermeneutics and phenomenology, with a particular focus on metaphors and tropes, a number of conceptual journeys related to researching the experience of migration are described. The difficult state of being 'between place' and how this becomes manifest in real places is explored. The journeys show that only by travelling circuitously can one arrive at a multi-faceted form of awareness of the experience of migration and place.

德国纽伦堡G级中心地体系的变迁研究

中心地理论是我国城镇体系规划工作中研究和引介的诸多西方理论之一.本研究从该理论的诞生地选取一个具有完整体系结构的样本区域——纽伦堡G体系,从空间形态、建成区面积、人口、人口密度、中心地分布等方面,对1925年和2005年两个代表性时间段的数据进行研究,形成若干关于中心地体系变迁的认识.文章进一步分析了这种变迁的影响因素,供规划师借鉴参考.研究发现,G体系的中东部区域出现显著的提升发展趋势,西南部区域出现明显的弱化趋势,总体呈现出区域性非均衡发展格局.     

Kings Place: Hall One

When is an office development more than office space? Howard Watson describes how through the inclusion of two small auditoria in the basement of Kings Place in London King's Cross, Dixon Jones was able to create a true mixture of amenities while responding to the area's cultural needs and eclipsing its reputation for being less than salubrious.

商业综合体的场所精神塑造

以场所精神指导下的商业综合体设计要求我们在商业综合体设计中,关注商业运作的同时,也不能忽略了在场的现实状况。对自然条件的反映,地域文化的尊重,城市肌理的梳理,消费模式的继承创新才会让人找到认同感。     

场所理论应用于社区研究的思考

场所是一个充满意义的空间，人们不仅使用场所，同时还进行着与场所的情感交流，从而获得喜怒哀乐等不同的感受。因为我们看到的城市、建筑和环境甚至花草树木都是有情的，所以场所也是有情的。社区就是一个场所，我们经常提到的社区意识、社区精神、社区情感空间、社区依附、社区感等概念有着与场所理论概念相似性特征。本文试图从场所理论研究的视角出发，来探讨和分析其在社区研充中的重要意义。而且从人对场所的真实感受、人与场所的关系出发进行社区应用研究，也是“以人为本”思想的表现，对当前的“和谐社区”建设具有重要的指导意义。
