今日的建筑与社区

Architecture and Communities Today

当今社会期待建筑扮演的角色之一,是能够塑造社区、重塑环境,并以一种可预测的、积极的方式影响人的行为。此外,建筑师自认为拥有的职业技能,就是通过建筑概念和设计来呈现社会的想象和希冀。然而,当今建筑师重塑社会的方式已不像过去那样直接而可触。1960年代早期出现了一种新的关于空间和社区的理念——"场所营造",行动主义者及公知人物提出"为人的城市"这一标语,城市不再只为汽车和购物中心而建。在20世纪早期的"建筑与社区"概念的理论原则和设计经验,与近期的设计实践之间,存在着强烈的延续性。即将呈现的9个项目,分别聚焦以下几个话题:公共空间与记忆、公共公园与多元社区、公共空间与城市滨水空间。这些项目代表了设计对社区的激活方式。它是一个由试图提升居民生活品质的公共投资所驱动的复杂过程。

One of the roles society expects by architecture is the ability to shape communities,remodel environments,and in fluence behaviours in a predictable and positive way.Furthermore,architects claims for themselves the professional skills to express social imagination through their architectural ideas and design.During the early 1960 s a new idea of space and community emerged:the concept of placemaking raised and activists and personalities theorised the slogan"cities for people"and not only for cars and shopping centres.There is a strong continuity between the theoretical principles and the design experiences on"architecture and community"defined since the early years of the 20 th century up to the design experiments built in recent times.The nine projects hereafter presented are focused on the following topics:public space and memory,public parks and diverse communities,public space and city waterfronts.These projects represent the reactivation of social communities through design.It is a complex process tackled by public investments increasing the quality of inhabitants’life.
