面向城市数字化转型的“设计”

"Design"Towards Digital Transformation of Cities

信息通信技术的发展推动了过去10余年的智慧城市建设热潮,也引发了许多批判性的问题。以“数字化转型”为概念的新一轮智慧城市建设强调了以人为中心和将城市作为一个复杂系统的整体性要求。这既对城市数字化转型中的“设计”介入提出了要求,也为“设计”技术发展创造了条件。数字化进程为设计带来的技术转向促使城市领域研究者和从业者在“设计的价值观”“设计的底层逻辑”与“设计的技术基础”3个层面重新思考。在此基础上笔者团队在北京市双井街道开展了系列实践对“什么是数字化转型下的‘设计’”进行了探索。

ICT evolution drives the smart city development of the last decade and raises many critical questions.The new wave of smart city initiatives,conceptualised as"digital transformation",emphasises the human-centeredness and holistic value of urban complex system.This imposes requirements for the engagement of"design"and creates opportunities for the technological development of"design"in cities.The shift in technology for design prompts researchers and practitioners to rethink the"values of design",the"logic of design",and the"technological basis of design".Based on the three dimensions,the author’s team conducted a series of practices in Shuangjing Street,Beijing,as an exploration of what is"design"in the context of digital transformation.
