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。

The workshop focused on the redevelopment of Boston Waterfront. The students were asked to propose a new urban structure and test the responsiveness of their design parameters, forecasting an ecologic or economic change. They then generated a new code and urban form for flexible ranges and scales in relationship to the critical nodes and definitive borders of their intervention.

该工作坊的课题为波士顿市水边地区的重新开发。我们要求学生提出新的城市结构，设置并测试不同的设计参数，预测未来生态系统与经济系统的变化趋势。他们以介入的重点与局限为基础，创造出可适合多种范围及规模的新城市形态。此后他们则提出了一系列新的城市设计导则，探索新的城市形态，以获得适应未来不同发展状况以及不同尺度的灵活性。
他们定义了城市形态形成的逐个关键环节以及设计所涉及的区域范围。

Parametric tools were introduced to facilitate the visualization, evaluation and realignment through quantitative methods in order to provide greater flexibility in the design process. The workshop was structured in three steps: indexing, meshing and prototyping.

我们将相关参数化设计方法介绍给学生，有助于他们系统性的量化解读、表达、评估和整理复杂的信息，增加设计过程的回应性和适应性。工作坊的进程分成3个阶段：参数化分析，网格化和原型化。
