未来由数据驱动的城市设计

The Future of Urban Design Is Driven by Data

许多智慧城市项目,尤其是缺乏城市或设计专业知识的技术公司的方案,往往过于依赖技术创新的对象,并且在很大程度上忽视了以建筑和基础设施建成形式作为媒介的探究。“智能”城市技术的引入并不会自动促成城市环境提升,亦不会免除规划者和政府培育和管理宜居、公平和可持续城市的责任。通过数据驱动设计,我们可以将智能直接嵌入到城市的建筑结构中,而不像许多智能城市方案随意地将技术嫁接到现有城市环境中。以数据为主导的设计师能够从根本上改变我们塑造未来城市的方式。通过采用一种综合数据计算和分析的设计方法,设计师可以重新获得如何构思、规划和编程智能城市的权能。

Many smart city initiatives rely too heavily on the objects of technological innovation(usually under the purview of technology companies with scant urban or design expertise)and largely ignore the built form of buildings and infrastructure as a medium for inquiry.Furthermore,the introduction of“smart”urban technology doesn’t automatically precipitate better urban environments or absolve planners and governments of their responsibilities to foster and manage enjoyable,equitable,and sustainable cities.By designing with data,we can embed intelligence directly into the built fabric of the city,unlike many smart city technologies which are grafted(often haphazardly)onto the existing city.Designers leading with data are in the position to fundamentally change how we shape the cities of the future.By embracing an approach to design that is rich in analytics and computation,designers can regain agency over how smart cities are conceived,planned,and programmed.
