2 / 13 Jihak Hong: prototype catalogue and control parameters
This workshop was part of a longer introductory urban design studio. Its aim was to ground the urban framework carried over from previous exercises, considering it a dynamic composition.
What are the hidden forces that affect the functions of the site? Economic unpredictability, major infrastructure changes, sea level rise, globalization, etc. – each student selected one of these topics to challenge the existing urban code, reflecting on the essential elements of the urban character and the catalogue of possible responses.
此次工作坊是麻省理工大学城市建筑学专业中的一门城市设计课程的一部分,旨在以此前城市调研中所研究的城市结构为基础,探索城市结构是如何在动态过程中按照一定的规划发展成形。哪些潜在的效果会影响到场地的功能?
经济发展的不可预测性、基础设施的重大调整、海平面上升、全球化等——每个学生在其中选出了一个主题来重划现有的城市设计导则,试图以最有针对性的方式提出多种应对未来变化的可能性。
