城市灰度

Gray Space of Urban Rethink

城市是什么颜色?五彩斑斓或是黑白分明?在新中国历史上相当长一段时间里,中国的城市是黑白分明的,秩序井然,活力不足;在步入21世纪后的20年,中国的城市在丰富的商业开发项目中开始追逐霓虹华彩,与大尺度上基于数十年前"黑白"原型的底图,形成了彼此矛盾的对比。本文提出一个不断叠加的"灰度"状态,去反思我们的城市设计中所需要调和的诸多矛盾,在对立而统一的哲学观念中,追寻具备复杂适应性的设计解决方案。

The following four aspects can shed light on the grey scale of cities.1.Order&Mess There have been complaints about chaotic and messy urban developments since the very origin of cities.Urban development always tends to be sprawling.Therefore,the need to impose order to make cities more suitable for living and development justifies and endows planning activities with great significance.On the other hand,new urban areas created in a rapid speed in accordance with the planning blueprint,as well as efforts to reorganize and renew the old urban sections,have made people realize that“order”seems to be an illusion as what has been done so far only covers the innate chaos with a seemingly organized and standardized surface.
