重组城市

Instructor

Prof. David Grahame Shane

Prof. David Grahame Shane moving to Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) in 1985. In 1990 he started teaching Urban Design, becoming Co- Director 1990-97 and then as Adjunct Full Professor teaching the Recombinant Urbanism Seminar. During the 1990's and 2000's he also taught in the University of Pennsylvania and City College, New York, Urban Design programs, while lecturing on City Planning at Cooper Union (1992-2012). Since 1999 he has participated in the UD PHD program at the IUAV Venice with Professors Secchi and Vigano and is a Visiting professor at the Milan Polytechnic.

Prof. David Grahame Shane has lectured widely and published in architectural journals in Europe, the USA and Asia. He is the author of Recombinant Urbanism: Conceptual Modeling in Architecture, Urban Design and City Theory (2005). He published Urban Design Since 1945： a Global Perspective (2011). In 2016 his Recombinant Urbanism, translated by Zhang Yunfeng, was published in Chinese by the China, Building, Architecture and Urban Planning Press, Beijing.

Topic

Any discussion of “recombinant” systems must begin with Francis Crick and James Watson, who first popularized the concept in their descriptions of DNA in the 1960s. The discovery of DNA’s structure by them in 1953 reveals the mechanism underlying mutation: a coded, heritable, alterable sequence of amino acids.….. Recombination itself is the process of “crossing-over and independent assortment of new combinations of genes in progeny that did not appear in the parents (Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary).”

Similar processes of mutation can be seen in patterns of development that we recognize as urban structures that handle urban flows, profit, or pleasure, urban actors splice together urban structures that handle urban flows, producing new settings for their activities or reusing old ones for altered circumstances. Urban splicing, analogously to genetic recombination, involves the sorting, layering, overlapping and combining of disparate elements to create new combinations.

 讲座主题

       所有关于“重组”系统的讨论都要追溯到佛朗西斯·克里克和詹姆士·沃森，是他们早在20世纪60年就提出了DNA的概念。他们在1953年发现的DNA结构，揭示了变异（mutation）现象之下隐藏的内在机制：一种有代码的、可以遗传的、可以转换的DNA序列。....重组本身是一个“对母体中没有出现过的基因进行交叉和独立的组合。”

       我们在城市的发展模式中也可以发现类似的变异过程。在寻求增加效率、扩大利益或者娱乐方式的过程中，城市“演员（actors）”将相关的城市结构要素拼接（splice）在一起，形成新的布局，从而方便自己的活动，或者在新的环境下重新利用原有结构。与基因重组类似，城市拼接包括了分类（sorting）、分层（layering）、重叠（overlapping），并且把完全不同的要素组合起来形成新的组合体（combinations）。
