近二十年来世界城市美学发展新趋向

近20年来世界城市美学表现出三种新趋向,即:①争相建造世界或国家最高地标建筑,追求"眩晕"美学效果;②争相建造功能最佳的生态建筑和垂直农业建筑,重建城市的生态和谐;③争相建造最具视觉冲击力的城市景观空间,雅化城市视觉秩序。这反映了系统、企业、专家和公众的选择性向和趣味,包括健康的、病态的、富有远见的和短视的。城市永远是一个没完没了的冗长的故事,它确实需要某种抵抗和消解乏味的吸引力,但并不需要过多的跌宕起伏与惊心动魄,它是日常的、生活的,而非戏剧的或神话的,它真正需要的只是端庄、流畅、真实、亲切。

New Tendency in the Aesthetics of Cities in the Last 20 Years

There are three kinds of tendency in aesthetics of cities and architectures in the world in the last twenty years: first,many cities competed aggressively for highest building of the world or country and sought stunning aesthetics;second,cities thronged to create landscape scene,beautifying the visual space of cities.All these reflected interests and choices of systems,companies,experts and public,whether wholesome or unwell,farsighted or short-sighted.City is always a long boring story which actually needs some power of attraction to counteract the banality,but it requires neither too much ups and downs,nor profoundly affecting,it is routine,living,not dramatic or mythic.The essence is modesty,smoothness,truthfulness and friendliness from space of cities.
