改变与演变：城市设计和城市形态论坛11月将在北京举办
改变与演变：城市设计和城市形态 主办： 清华大学建筑学院 论坛缘起： 无论对政治家还是开发商，对建筑师还是对规划师，近年中国的高速发展既是巨大的机遇，也构成严峻的挑战。在二十年的飞速发展和城市巨变之后，中国城市已经来到了这样的一个关口，它亟需更集约而成熟的转变。这种转变既指向物理建设的“硬”指标，也关切于生活空间的“软”质量：良好的生态环境，历史文化的合理延续，以及对于实际便利和生活舒适的更高要求。 城市设计在这种战略性的转变之中领有先机。它使我们更深入地认识到，将有可能通过可控的设计来影响城市形态的演变。面对这种可能性，今年“改变与演变”论坛的主题，不是试图编制出囊括一切变化的图谱，而是意在界定潜在的兴趣点，厘清分歧的思路，以便为将来的实践提供更完善的指导。 在这个主题下，今年的论坛包含了两个子题： 我们首先关注大型项目对于城市转型的影响。大型项目的“大”，未必应该总归为负面的影响，它可以成为总合新旧的契机，可以是纠正过去规划失误的机遇，可以重整衰落的都市地块，也可以为充满活力的生活创造出一个有效的空间框架。 我们也会探究城市演变的各种丰富形态。与大型项目相比，那些中小尺度却行之有效的都市实践，通常会更注意开发和文脉之间的适度平衡。又例如，历史城市通常具有纤细的肌理，如何保存这种肌理，方可以延续社区的凝聚力，同时带来长久的经济繁荣？ 在这些成功的故事里，我们将寻觅到都市发展更有生命力的替换性思路——我们城市的明天，需要互通声息的完整肌理，而不是孤立无援的单体建筑；需要行之有效的积极演变，而不是茫无头绪的随意改变，如此，城市设计和城市形态间的关系，便凸现为理解城市演变的重要维度。这，正是清华大学建筑学院、易道公司联合美国《建筑实录》杂志，共同举办“城市设计和城市形态”论坛的愿景。 由不同时空、不同尺度都市实践的对话，我们将为城市生命的演变带来思想碰撞的火花。 议程 09:00-09:05 开幕致辞 专题报告与主题讨论一：大型城市项目对城市形态的改变及影响 11:15-11:30 茶歇 11:30-12:30主题讨论： 大型城市项目对城市形态的改变及影响 12:30-14:00 午餐 专题报告与主题讨论二：城市尺度与城市形态 16:15-16:30 茶歇 16:30-17:30主题讨论： 城市尺度与城市形态 17:30-17:35 闭幕辞

The stunning speed of the recent Chinese urban development presents both opportunities and challenges for both public and private sectors, as well as for architects and planners. After two decades of rapid growth and relentless physical change, Chinese cities are moving towards a more integrated and mature urban transformation. This concerns not only the “hard” index of physical construction but also the “soft” quality of living spaces, such as environmental friendliness, cultural and historical integrity as well as higher demands for practical conveniences and daily comforts. The key role that urban design plays in this emerging social shift leads us to the question how human interventions -- that is, the controllable “design” process -- may actually impact the transformation of a city. The topic of this year’s conference, “Urban Design and City Types” hopes to identify two major areas of experimentation in the evolving urban sphere that provide direction to our practice, at the macro and micro scales. The conference’s first session will discuss the influences of large-scale, or “mega,” projects and key urban developments, with cases from major world metropolises. The assumption here is that the size of a mega-project does not have to overwhelm its new opportunities, and neither is its role limited to that of pure symbolism and simplistic grand gestures. Instead, these kinds of projects offer an opportunity to synthesize old urban fabrics with the new, to cure the scars left by large-scale developments that were indifferent to pedestrian experience, to reconfigure the decline of public grounds and to create a more powerful spatial program that accommodates vibrant city life. The second session will explore a variety of urban strategies that operate at smaller scales with diversified impacts and outcomes, revealing the ample capacity of the topic. Historical cities, for example, would always benefit from carefully preserving its delicate urban fabric, a key to its communal integrity and economic success. Compared to mega-projects, these modest yet site-specific urban approaches more consciously often pursue an appropriate balance between proposed expansion and context. We are particularly interested in listening to such stories, because they provide an alternative and more sustainable model for Chinese urban growth. Urban design is an extremely valuable dimension to understand not only the configuration but the transformation of a city. It looks at contextual change instead of individual renovations, it should be a dynamic agent for change instead of a passive reflection of political and economical circumstances. In recognition of this, the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University and EDAW, with Architectural Record-McGraw Hill Construction as media partner, are delighted to co-organize this symposium, with the aim of enriching knowledge of the evolving built environment by supplying inspiring examples set in different times and spaces.
