卓然不群江山依旧——走进法国卢瓦尔河畔的香博古堡

法兰西的建筑艺术是多彩的,从高卢-罗马时期的遗址到人们在文艺复兴时期修建的众多教堂。时至今日,漫步在法兰西真像是倘徉在一座露天的建筑艺术博物馆。     

英国伯明翰布林德利地区——城市更新的范例

英国伯明翰市的布林德利地区是全欧洲规模最大的在内城更新中运用“混合使用”理念进行开发建设的项目之一。它的开发从概念的确立,到设计、建造,以及日后的使用,都遵循了这一理念。最终的形成阶段仅仅用了5年多一点的时间,该地区就从一个充满着工厂和码头的破败地区,变成了由一系列商店、餐馆、咖啡厅、办公楼、住宅、文化设施等组成的一连串令人眩目的公共广场和华美建筑群。该地区的改造计划由来已久,投资方、设计机构以及规划方案几经变更,能够取得今天的成功真可谓是历经磨难。

这个设计中蕴含着我们的理想。我们不仅仅要建造一个最高水平的百货公司，同时希望它能够成为伯明翰的地标，使建筑真正成为城市复兴的催化剂。这个目标激励我们进行设计。     

阿斯顿大学滨湖住宅，伯明翰，英国

该项目位于拥挤的城市褐土地带，可为651个学生提供住宿。公寓规划成两块，沿南北向布置，以确保所有房间能够获得充足的日照，西区朝向内部环路的8层高的弯曲外墙体现了城市中心区的尺度，环路以一座16层的地标塔楼作为终结。为了满足紧张的施工进度需要，在充分考虑了建造可行性之后，决定采用整体装配的卫生间，带有保温和热回收处理的通风系统大大降低了能耗，能源消耗尽可能与英国其他类似方案的能耗一样低，或者更低。

英国后工业时期住宅状况

进入后工业时期,西方城市与建筑理论和实践发生了很大变化,长领域的变化尤为突出。本文从社会,政治,经济和规划设计方面综合分析了英国后工业时期的住宅状况及其历史发展过程,作者认为,后工业时期英国住宅建设在实践与上的发展及其存在的问题,与英国二次大战之后的住宅发展的英国后工业时期的社会,政治,经济条件密切相关,一方面,非工业化的城市功能结构和相应的政治经济环境促进了住宅理论的发展,另一方面,新的住宅实践

千年建筑在英国

为迎接2000年的到来,我将英国的“千年建筑”及其设计者向大家做一介绍:     

伦敦道克兰金色码头，英国

伦敦道克兰金色码头的开发，被认为是当时世界上最大的商业开发计划，共有24幢办公楼和商业零售空间，总计116万m2(1250万平方英尺)。这一开发使道格斯岛西印度海运码头基地的中心28.7hm2(71英亩)的地区得以复兴。一度是世界贸易路线的繁荣枢纽的伦敦道克兰在1960年代衰落并被废弃。金色码头最初的开发商Ware Travelstead，以及后来的开发商Olympia &York Properties公司，从关注全球商业出发，希望在这里建立新的伦敦商贸金融中心。欧林事务所从1985年项目之初就开始介入，成为国际化多领域团队中的一员，主要关注公共区域的规划和设计。…

Observations of turbidity in the Thames Estuary,United Kingdom

Two years of data of water level, salinity and turbidity have been analysed to understand the response of the estuarine turbidity maximum in the Thames to variations in tidal range and freshwater flow. We show the increase in turbidity in spring, together with a sudden decrease in autumn after fluvial flooding. In order to try to understand the mechanisms, we also present data from individual tides. During dry periods, there is a period of slack water around high tide when settling occurs. There is little equivalent settling at low tide, nor is there any significant settling during wet weather periods, pointing to the importance of tidal asymmetry at certain times of year. We also present an empirical relationship between peak tidal water level and turbidity during flood tides, which clearly shows the greater landward transport of sediment under spring tides, although this is moderated by the availability of erodible material.     

艺术融合设计——“大英珍品展”的展陈设计

艺术品展览设计，不同于一般的室内设计，关注的主题是展品，而不是空间的本身，所以我们看到历时2个多月的“大英珍品展”的展示设计，是为展品有良好的展示服务的，或者说是为观者对展品的良好视觉与心灵体验服务的。[编者按]     

A review of United Kingdom windpower

This review covers the background to wind power installations in the U.K. and outlines current developments. Many of the installations described were visited by the author in 1981 and several of the machines described are part of current research projects. There is a variety of different turbine designs being developed at a number of locations throughout the British Isles. These include established configurations such as the three-blade upwind horizontal-axis Aldborough Generator but also new designs such as the variable geometry multi-hinged design at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight.     

Dietary surveys on a population at Shipham, Somerset, United Kingdom

The results are reported of three dietary surveys and crop sampling surveys carried out at Shipham in 1979. Concentrations of cadmium, lead and zinc in crops were higher than would normally be expected. Copper concentrations in crops were normal, and the results for mercury showed that mercury translocation from soil to crops was very low. Although cadmium dietary intakes were found to be greater than those expected from a normal UK diet, dietary lead and zinc intakes were normal. Dietary copper intakes at Shipham were a little lower than national average intakes. Four participants in the duplicate diet study, or 6% of the study population, had cadmium intakes higher than 0.4 mg per week.     

Extreme wind climate of the United Kingdom

The results of improved extreme value analyses of wind data from 50 meteorological stations in the United Kingdom, together with comparisons with previous analyses and the implications for structural design practice are discussed. In contrast to earlier methods, the present approach uses a dynamic pressure model and greatly increased amounts of data. It enables the seasonal and directional characteristics of extreme winds to be assessed reliably. The directional results are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of contemporary procedures to correct for terrain roughness and topography.     

The radioactivity content of United Kingdom coal

Twenty samples of coal representing each of the seven major regions of the National Coal Board have been analysed for their natural radioactivity content. A variety of methods have been used to verify the results, but the major technique used was radiation spectrometry of 3 kg samples. The results indicate a mean value for uranium and radium activity in British coals of 14.5 Bq/kg, for thorium 12.5 Bq/kg and for potassium 150 Bq/kg. These are significantly lower levels of actinides than have been previously reported and represent only two thirds of those previously used as source terms for assessment of the radiological impact of fossil fuel burning in the U.K.. The content of potassium in U.K. coal is twice the accepted global mean but the radiological significance of this element is negligible. A subsidiary finding is that uranium and its daughter radium are in secular radioactive equilibrium in coal within the experimental error of the analysis.     

英国零售业规划政策评述

本文对英国零售业的规划政策进行了回顾与评述。在过去的20年间,英国零售业规划政策的一项核心内容是通过“城镇中心优先政策”来减少新型零售业态的扩张对城镇中心所带来的影响,从而保持与提高城镇中心的活力,并通过集约化使用土地达到可持续性发展。文章同时对规划政策制定过程中的五大矛盾进行了阐述。研究表明,“城镇中心优先政策“的执行受到近年来经济衰退和其他经济结构变化的影响和干扰。对很多人而言,城镇中心不再是他们日常生活的主要场所。在网购和手机购物直行的今天,现行的零售规划政策必须与时俱进,做出适当调整和改变。同时,许多经营大店的零售商正在反思和重估大店赖以生存的社会经济条件,并减少对大店的投资。     

Monitoring intercensal migration in the United Kingdom

"This author demonstrates the utility of the National Health Service Central Register of patient reregistrations for providing continuous information for monitoring changes over time in migration behaviour within the United Kingdom. An information system has been constructed that contains annual time-series data with which to illustrate trends in the volume, composition, and geographical distribution of migration during the 1980s. Issues of data reliability and system expansion are amongst those discussed."
