Course Description | 课程描述

Insofar as cities throughout the world are growing in size and cultural importance, individuals entering the architecture profession must be prepared to approach the several tasks of urban architecture with understanding, confidence, and imagination.  Failure to grasp the challenge and opportunity of shaping urban culture will marginalize practice.  Most histories of modern architecture celebrate designs of small, rather isolated buildings, and criticize projects that proposed entire cities or large sections of them.  Less well studied, but quite possibly more relevant today, is the middle scale, at which the new architecture inaugurated urban transformation by example, not comprehensive design.

鉴于世界各地城市的规模和文化重要性都在不断扩大、提升,进入建筑行业的从业者也必须做好准备,以理解、信心和想象力来完成城市建筑的各项任务。如果不能抓住塑造城市文化的挑战和机遇,那么建筑实践就会被边缘化。现代建筑史大都褒扬那些小而孤立的建筑设计,批评那些涵盖整个城市或其中大片区域的项目。而介于两者之间中等规模的研究却较为匮乏,即使这才更可能与今天息息相关。因为正是在这一规模上,新的建筑通过范例而非综合的设计开启了城市转型。

This seminar has a simple thesis: positive urban transformation can result from discordant insertions that prompt new developments, previously seen to be unlikely. We will examine and interpret urban projects built in cities throughout the world during the five middle decades of the 20th century.  Spatial techniques will occupy our attention, as will concepts and theories articulated by designers.  But no less important will be concerns of common culture: social justice, intelligent use of natural resources, and appropriate, legible, and beautiful form.

这门研讨课有一个简单的论点:城市中异质的插件也许会带来积极的城市转型,促使那些曾经被视为天方夜谭的新发展成为可能。我们将研究并解读20世纪中叶的五十年间在世界各地建造的城市项目。其中,空间设计的技术以及设计师的概念和理论将是我们关注的主要内容。但同样不容忽视的还有对共同文化的关注:社会公正、自然资源的合理利用,以及恰当、可读、优美的形式。

Professor David Leatherbarrow is a scholar and professor in the theory and history of architecture, with specific emphasis on their contribution to architectural design. He teaches in the Internationalization Demonstration School of Architecture, Southeast University. Since 1984 he has also been teaching at the University of Pennsylvania. Within history, theory, and design, he is known internationally for his contributions to ideas and historical developments of architectural design, gardens and landscapes, and, most recently, on the impact of contemporary technology on architecture. All of David Leatherbarrow’s work in scholarship examines two essential problems or topics in architectural design: the architectural site (landscape or urban) and architectural construction. These two topics are unavoidably commonplace in contemporary design practice. They are also in need of reconsideration, in light of changes in contemporary culture and society. To date David Leatherbarrow has published 12 scholarly books and over one hundred and twenty scholarly articles. In addition to his scholarship, Leatherbarrow is highly respected internationally as an educator, having won numerous awards for his teaching, the most recent of which is the 2020 Topaz Medallion awarded by AIA/ACSA, the highest honor given to an educator in architecture.

莱瑟巴罗教授是世界著名的建筑历史与理论家,他的历史与理论研究尤为强调它们对设计的贡献。莱瑟巴罗教授现任教于东南大学建筑国际化示范学院,自1984年起也在宾夕法尼亚大学任教。在历史、理论、设计领域,他的学术声誉源自他在建筑设计、园林与景观的观念与历史发展方面做出的贡献,以及近年来他在当代技术进展对建筑学影响方面的研究。他的所有著作都集中探讨建筑学科的两个基本问题:建筑场所(景观或城市)和建筑建造。它们既是建筑实践中的两个基本问题,也是今天需要予以关注并重新思考的重要领域。迄今莱瑟巴罗教授共出版了12部学术著作和120多篇学术文章。在学术研究以外,莱瑟巴罗教授还是国际知名的教育家,曾获多个教育奖项,最近的奖项包括全美建筑教育最高奖“2020年度黄玉奖章”。
