Throughout the history of modern design and modern design education, there have been demands for designers to be more systematic. What might be different this time around is actually implementing such revoluntionary programs.

Once the author believed need a massive change, but ways of being worthy of sustainment persist in the existing mess.
Project of radically reforming the cities in which we live
NOT one great once-and-for-all change toward a wholly new city
NOT a new designing

A great many changes over time
more designing, lots more
New York Cool PREVIOUS：
• • •
High Summer heat
•
High density before cooling system developed
Humidity Little night time reduction in temperature

OUTCOME：
• •
Unevenly punctured facade
• •
More energy than larger AC
Like nonindigenous species,weeds
Multiple inefficiencies
“Kick The Box” The replacement of objects rather than entire cityscapes
What ecosystem sustain window-box air conditioners and where are the leverage points that the designer might exploit in this species eradication task?

“Managing building service system” Building-design solutions are preferable based on natural ventilation,mechanical system,or both
Building-scale solutions are preferable business to business profit from the increasingly efficient delivery of a fixed level of “coolth” rather than increasing quantities of electricity

“Network Lock-in” Allies: energy companies
promotion of local skilled labor
reduction of greenhouse gas architectural heritage organizations government and nongovernmental agencies affordable housing

“2 Consequences” 1. The Ac is not a Tech to encompassing whole,but a agglomeration of network that need,in each case to be negotiated.
2. Not a problem to be solved but a constellation of colliding desires to reconfigured and redirected;many changes,not just massive changes

“Urban Farm”
In Contrast
Industrial Farming
A perfect starting point for a new kind of sustainable city
Ruralization Experiment self-sustaining self-regulating multi-dimensional productive garden

P.F.1
within walking distance
P.F.1 Coffee
tasty organic grown summer-fresh fruit&vegetables
“Section” a design that allow a farm to coexist with activities, spaces&experiences beneath
a working farm ＋a party space

CONCEPT: megastructure, blurred distinctions between architecture,urbani sm&infractructure Rethink infrastructure and ecological system as potentially integral to architecture
“Structure” MATERIAL:cardboard tube,used on construction sites for pouring concrete Daisy pattern,central picking hole or column

Public Reaction: fusion of Economic/Social/Environment vitalization Previous: passively protect Now: actively building and enhance nature around our daily existence

Common traits of Projects:
• • • •

“interconnected” “multitasking” “consensual” “hurdles”
redefine our expectation of public space
“Conclusion” 6 LAYERS OF NATURE:
• • • • •
wilderness(nature alone); agriculture(nature+humanity); culture(nature+art+religion+leisure); nature of industry(nature+mechanization); postindustrial nature(reclamation);
What is 6th? Green Cities= social motivation

“Conclusion” Our Landscape need to arouse desire in public:
• • •
desire to participate desire to cultivate desire to advocate
Richard Weller,critic Landscape Architect : “....next landscape as a kind of ecomodernism,free of romanticism and aesthetic.....”
ECOMODERNISM : not just about protection or remediation; BUT AN entrepreneurial redefinition of our relationship to nature 2011年2月24日星期四
