城市设计:欧洲80年代城市规划转型期的新兴价值观——米歇尔·特瑞普教授《城市设计——理论和实践》

Urban Design: Emerging Values in the Urban Planning Transition of Europe in the 1980s——Urban Planning: Theory and Practice by Professor Michael Trieb

近期,笔者参与翻译了德国米歇尔·特瑞普(Michael Trieb)教授的著作《城市设计——理论和实践》。德国的城市扩张在20世纪70年代逐步乏力,城市更新与历史城市品质的提升日益受到重视。在此背景下,城市设计学派的价值开始逐步被城市学界与实践领域认知。在这一时期,美国涌现出了凯文·林奇(Kevin Lynch)、克里斯托弗·亚历山大(Christopher Alexander)等重要城市设计先锋学者。而在欧洲同期,城市设计理论也得到了快速发展,代表者之一的米歇尔·特瑞普(Michael Trieb)的著作《城市设计——理论和实践》(Urban Planning:Theor y and Practice),及其之后历史城市更新导则的系列设计工作,均发源于这一趋势。米歇尔·特瑞普(Michael Trieb)在人本主义和重视心理体验这一认识论视角下,联系了心理学研究和城市设计,发展出了相应的城市设计理论体系,强调城市环境的个体性、生动性、整体性和多样性等心理品质,并形成了多种规范城市建筑设计、空间形态、城市天际线等要素的实践手段。

Recently, the author has been involved in the translation of the book Urban Design：Theory and Practice by Professor Michael Trieb. In 1970s, the urban sprawl has slowed down in Germany. The urban renewal and qualities of historical cities have attracted public attention. In this context, the value of urban design school has been gradually cognized by the urban design academy and practice field. Famous urban design pioneer scholars appear in America such as Kevin Lynch and Christopher Alexander; in the same period, the urban design theory has also been rapidly developed in Europe, one of the representatives—Michael Trieb—with his book Urban Design： Theory and Practice and other series of design works following urban renewal guidelines are originated from this trend. Under the perceptual view of humanism and psychological experience, Mr. Trieb has combined the psychological research with urban design and developed a corresponding system of urban design theory, emphasizing the psychological qualities of urban environment such as individuality, vitality, integrity and diversity, forming standardized practice methods, such as architectural design, spatial pattern, city skyline and other elements.
