公共交通在德国城市中心步行区发展中的作用——以斯图加特市为例

德国城市中心步行区的成功发展,首要归功于他们先进的城市公共交通,特别是城市快速轨道交通系统。一方面,它改善了城市中心的可达性;另一方面,它帮助城市逐步摆脱了对汽车交通的依赖,为城市中心步行区的扩张创造了有利的条件。本文以斯图加特市为案例,简要回顾了其城市快速轨道交通系统与城市中心步行区半个多世纪的发展历程,探讨了其步行区的公共交通可达性,并总结了斯图加特公共交通系统对城市中心步行区发展的推动作用。     

The Instinctive Sense of Space and Boundary

Petra Blaisse of Inside Outside describes how the studio focuses on the boundary of interior and exterior space, adding and subtracting highly tactile and sensuous layers. She highlights the significance of the invisible to her work - whether light, scent or texture - and how the future of design will be opening the way to ‘the sheer biology of things’.

Curating the Digital: An Interview with MoMA's Paola Antonelli

As Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Paola Antonelli treats digital and analogue design with equal regard. Here she talks to Guest-Editor Neil Leach about some of her decisions. She discusses the distinctions between design, art and architecture; how she keeps a clear head amid the prevailing euphoria over new technologies, in order to choose only those pieces that also represent successful design; whom she views as paragons of design in the digital age; and why she believes that architectural education needs to be reinvented.     

德国教育印象

本文根据胶体与界面化学授课中发现的问题,结合笔者在德国的求学经历,从德国的另类教育体系、教育模式和教育精髓等几个方面初步探讨了德国教育之印象。     

Transgression,Innovation, Politics

As partner at Zaha Hadid Architects, Patrik Schumacher has become renowned for his substantial role in taking an experimental practice to a global level. Here he argues for some qualification in the way that transgression might be employed in architecture: Where should transgression stand in relation to a cycle of innovation? Should progress take uneven revolutionary leaps or a smooth accumulative path? By looking outside itself and engaging in political debate, could the architecture of transgression, in fact, be doing no more than burdening the discipline?     

Breeding the Future

For Zbigniew Oksiuta energy from the sun offers the greatest potential for architecture, as the essential life-giving force for all living things. Here he urges a future of architecture that is biological, as demonstrated by his own featured bioforms that investigate the cultivation of new types of organisms and living biological products outside the confines of natural evolution.
