Unprecedented challenges await the future of the world's cities. Accelerating population pressure, climate change, food insecurity, poverty and geopolitical instability – in the face of such problems our current attempts at producing a sustainable agenda for the world's cities appear fragmented and inadequate. Fresh thinking is needed.
In Remaking Cities, renowned design theorist Tony Fry brings a conceptual design perspective to the challenge of urban sustainability and resilience. In a typically far-sighted and provocative work, Fry presents ideas and actions for 'metrofitting' – a new kind of practice in architecture and urban design. Metrofitting expands the technological concept of retrofit up to the city scale, placing social, cultural, political and ethical concerns at its heart. Metrofitting is not about visionary technology, it is about transforming existing cities by combining available resources with human creativity, prompted by new thinking about new and old urban problems. It requires overcoming outmoded Eurocentric assumptions of what constitutes a city, rethinking their forms and structures, and understanding their metabolic processes and social and economic functions. This book provides conceptually strong practical approaches that will ultimately change the whole way we view cities and the way the urban future is designed.
Illustrated with international case studies of metrofitting in action, Remaking Cities will provoke and stimulate debate among architects, urban designers, and anyone concerned with the urban environment and social and cultural change. 世界城市的未来将面临前所未有的挑战。人口压力加剧、气候变化、粮食不安全、贫困和地缘政治不稳定——面对这些问题，我们当前为世界城市制定可持续议程的努力显得支离破碎和不充分。在改造城市的过程中，著名的设计理论家 tony fry 为城市可持续性和复原力的挑战提供了一个楚格设计的视角。在一个典型的具有远见和挑衅性的工作，弗莱介绍了“都市配置”的想法和行动，一种新的实践在建筑和城市设计。都市装修把改造的技术概念扩展到城市规模，把社会、文化、政治和伦理问题放在核心位置。都市配置不是空想的技术，而是通过将现有资源与人类创造力相结合，在对新旧城市问题的新思维的推动下，对现有城市进行改造。它需要克服过时的以欧洲为中心的城市构成假设，重新思考它们的形式和结构，并理解它们的新陈代谢过程以及社会和经济功能。这本书提供了概念性强的实用方法，最终将改变我们看待城市的整个方式和城市未来的设计方式。 基本信息 出版社 : Bloomsbury Academic (2017年8月10日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 280页 ISBN-10 : 1474224164 ISBN-13 : 978-1474224161 商品重量 : 556 g 尺寸 : 15.6 x 1.75 x 23.39 cm
