演绎都市--关于"2002上海双年展策展方案"的几点注解

本文以2002上海双年展主策展人的独特视角,分析了这次双年展以个体思考与群体讨论相结合的策展模式:并从全球化和都市化背景下对都市生活和都市文化的关注,介绍了策展对象、策展内容以及策展主题的确定。最后还分析了在“都市营造”的主题下引发的关于“都市性的审视,都市的文化身份,跨文化的空间,新艺术的家园”等学术问题的探讨。     

联接复合体——霍尔的马赛公寓

文章是基于现当代城市／建筑文化对斯蒂文霍尔在北京的联接复合体与勒柯布西耶的马赛公寓的对比分析,不是为了印证某种历史的巧合或进行某种类比,而是为了激发和揭示霍尔这个重要作品的某些尚未被发掘的特质。     

Lifestyles and the city: connecting daily life to urbanity

Urban households are part of what makes a city a city: economically, because of their labour market participation and use of urban facilities; and socially, because of their participation in public life. In turn, these urban households profit from what the city has to offer. In this paper, a household typology is constructed according to type and extent of ‘urban connectedness’. Urban connectedness is not identified as people’s stated preference but rather as people’s revealed relationship with the urban society through their residential choices. Subsequently, the urban orientation of these household types is explored. Empirical data are obtained for the city of Amsterdam.     

Urban livability across disciplinary and professional boundaries

This is an analytical study of the intensely debated concept of urban livability. The paper examines different literature or theoretical streams that contribute to the debate related to the notion of livable cities. It juxtaposes academic constructs from architecture and urban planning fields with the popular culture and web indices that rank cities according to their living standards, services, and international appeal. The study offers a comparative analytical assessment of these diverse approaches and lays out a nuanced understanding of urban livability that draws on the richness and diversity embedded in design, planning, and current ranking tools. The paper ultimately aims to shed light on the configurations, conditions, and processes that may enhance the livability of various urban settings. It integrates such disparate views into an interdisciplinary perspective of urban livability. While the bulk of this paper analyses relates to North American, European, and Australian cities, the concepts discussed pertain to urban livability on a global scale.     

城市中的剧院 剧院中的城市 北京中国国家大剧院评析

建成后的国家大剧院已经逐渐地融入了城市的生活,在对音乐与艺术体验中,针对该建筑的争论依然很多。文章从国家大剧院的城市属性、建筑本体设计以及观演建筑评价等三个方面对国家大剧院进行评析,并尝试在对国家大剧院体验式的解读中建立一种理性的思考。     

今天的城市性

城市性的一个重要前提是充满生机的功能混合,首先是街道和广场的使用。世界各地追随着现代建筑协会的目标,然而其城市设计和规划的结果让人不忍目睹。因此,欧洲城市自20世纪70年代开始重新从它们丰富的历史中反思。历史街区的修复和谨慎的城市更新再度被提上日程。功能混合再次成为一个重要的发展目标。自20世纪80年代,全球化和信息时代的到来作为新的危机出现,分析家预测城市公共空间的衰退是信息和交流由现实空间被转移到虚拟的网络空间所致。但同时城市社会发生了翻天覆地的变化：房屋正变得越来越小;城市居民中近三分之二居住的公寓只有1或2个人：单身或是丁克;传统雇佣单位中,雇员已经工作了数十年的团队集合被解散。越来越多的人从事短期工作或成为自由职业者。但是每个个体都需要真实的物质接触。互联网不能取代人们的联系。因此,酒吧、餐馆、事件和公共空间为提供个人交流就显得愈发重要。欧洲城市的公共城市空间舞台上的个人表现创造出比以往任何时候都熙攘的街道和广场。     

在地城镇化

近30年来轰轰烈烈的城市化,既是中国城市与乡村内生性的现代性的建立过程,也是当代全球城市化大潮中一个外源性的扩散涟漪.城市化过程中展现出的诸多奇妙现象,既受到中国城乡的内在经济、社会和文化结构的影响,也受到全球城市和乡村演化中的普遍性逻辑的影响.“在地城镇化”是对快速城市化诸多失衡和变异的一种纠正,三个关键词——在地、城、镇分别对应城市与乡村的三个特性——在地性、城市性和二元性的重建与修复.这三个特性几乎是全球所有城市和乡村在长期演化和短期突变中普遍存在的.因此,“在地城镇化”既是中国新型城镇化的一种选择路径,也是对城市与乡村发展哲学的一种思考模式.     

‘Mentally,we’re rather country people’ – planssplaining the quest for urbanity in Helsinki,Finland

ABSTRACT

This paper explores the concept of urbanity in a specific context, namely Helsinki, Finland. In a European context, Finland urbanized late. This lies at the heart of the common interpretation that Finland lacks an urban culture and urban lifestyles. Today, however, with the new comprehensive Urban Plan, city planners in Helsinki emphasize a paradigm shift towards urbanity. This paper seeks to understand this changing emphasis in planning by exploring how planners frame and understand urbanity. The paper concludes that within the Nordic welfare context more emphasis is needed to rethink whom urbanity serves and how it resonates with the prevention of segregation that the city also aims at.     

Old Dispersions and Scenes for the Production of Public Space The Constructive Margins of Secondarity

The density of development in Belgium is such that the entire country has become an open city, with little sense of where one metropolitan area begins and another ends. Bruno De Meulder describes the underlying logic of this unbroken urbanscape, and the opportunity it affords for re-editing and reinserting informal social spaces in areas of wasted land.
