讲座主题：

向萨凡纳学习

内容简介：

佐治亚州的萨凡纳历史街区被认为是世界上最美丽的城市之一。即便大部分历史学家，包括建筑师、景观设计师以及城市设计师在内，都仅仅将萨凡纳的建设描述为城市历史进程中的一个事件——因为没有证据表明这一规划影响了美国其他城市的建设。但只要认真研究奥格托普将军的规划，不难得出三条城市设计的基本经验：（1）同时满足可达性与流通性需求；（2）在不同层面满足多样性需求；（3）适应随时间变更的需求。这三条来自萨凡纳的经验完全基于一个单元式的行政划分结构及其严格的尺寸限定。奥格托普将军无法想像今天萨凡纳城市的面貌，然而这三条来自他1733年规划的经验却对当今的城市设计极具启发性。

Learning from Savannah

The Savannah, Georgia, historic district is recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Most historians, as well as architects, landscape architects and urban designers, described it as a one of a kind event in the history of cities because there is no evidence of the plan influencing other towns in America. However, if one examines General Oglethorpe’s plan closely, one finds three fundamental lessons for urban design: (1) Accommodating both accessibility and mobility, (2) Enabling diversity in many ways and (3) Facilitating change over time. And, these three lessons from Savannah are based in the cellular ward structure and its precise dimensions. Oglethorpe could not have imagined what Savannah looks like today, but the lessons from plan, created in 1733, are important ones for contemporary urban design.
