SYMPOSIUM
SOCIO-SPATIAL DESIGN AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF URBAN-RURAL CHINA
社会空间设计与中国城乡转型


Date: Saturday 9th December 2017
Time: 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00
Venue: Room 315, Engineering Hall, Xuhui Campus, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
上海交通大学徐汇校区工程馆315室

Organiser: Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA), Royal College of Art (RCA) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU)


The symposium will discuss how historical spatial development forms in China – such as the urban danwei and worker’s new village or rural people’s commune and Third Front – are an important contemporary heritage of urban form and Chinese modernity. Current problems of neighbourhood transformations and urbanisation in China can be understood in relationship to these historical developments. The symposium will consequently also debate the significance of this spatial heritage to urban design and planning theory, history and practice, and how spatial design has been instrumental to shape a sense of community and place. This discussion is framed through three contexts critical to understanding contemporary urban design in China: the history of communal spatial development models; socio-spatial changes in urban and rural developments; and changing models of urban-rural governance. Therefore, a key question arises: how are these socio-spatial developments critical to formulating a new interdisciplinary urban design practice and theory in China?

会议探讨近现代中国空间发展模式如何作为当代遗产塑造与影响中国城乡形制与现代性,并进一步审视这些“空间遗产”在城市设计理论、历史与实践、空间设计与社区/场所塑造方面的意义。会议的讨论框架定位于中国当代城市设计的三大背景环境:社区空间模式的历史演变;城乡发展中的社会空间变化;以及,城乡治理模式变迁。由此,当下中国街区更新转型和城市化进程中的问题与挑战可以从它们与历史发展模式的关系切入。继而,提出核心问题:这些社会空间模型如何系统性地建构一种新的跨学科城市设计实践方法与理论?

FORUM
Architectural Urbanism
Interdisciplinary Urban Design Challenges
建筑城市主义:跨界实践



Date: Sunday 10th December 2017
Time: 15:00-18:00
Venue: Huaxin Conference Centre, No. 142 Tianlin Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai
华鑫慧享中心,上海市徐汇区田林路142号 (穿过田林路142号入口进入园区内部)

The forum is a discussion between practitioners, stakeholders and academics about the contemporary challenges of urban design. Emerging in the 1960s in the USA and adopted in China since the mid-1990s, urban design is historically understood as an interdisciplinary practice of architecture, landscape architecture and city planning. The importance to understand cities and their design in multi–scalar and multi-disciplinary terms is today even more important, given the extent and complexity of global urbanisation. In China, as elsewhere, urban design is to provide design guidelines capable of integrating the diverse needs of local communities into sustainable large urban plans. But significant differences remain in how urban design in China deals with challenges of place-making, needs of local communities, and scale. Imported Western design models have not always translated well into a context with different urban, economic and social organisation and histories. Therefore, the forum will discuss how urban design has to develop a better understanding of local contexts and a broader multi-disciplinary approach that integrates urban sociology, social policy, public welfare and governance, as well new economies, lifestyles and real-estate development models in order to cross established disciplinary, methodological and cultural boundaries.

论坛邀请建筑与城市设计实践者、学者、以及城市发展进程中的相关方共同讨论当代城市设计挑战。城市设计这个概念1960年代在美国提出, 最初试图将建筑、景观和城市规划这些学科串为一体,于90年代中期被引进中国。 在当下复杂的全球化进程中,从多尺度、跨学科的角度理解城市设计变得愈发重要。无论国度,城市设计的意义在于提供设计指导,用以整合地方社区的多样性需求和可持续的城市蓝图。实践这一目标的方式有很多,但完全引进西方模式未必适用于中国特殊的城市、经济、社会组织状况。因此,论坛旨在讨论如何在城市设计实践中更好的理解地域文脉和采用更广阔的多学科视角,以整合城市社会学、社会政策、公共福利和管理、经济发展、生活方式以及地产发展模式,从而跨越既有的学科、方法和文化藩篱。
