摘要本文探讨了传统的社区设计（TND）如何恢复社区的感觉，陷入困境的社区。传统的社区，如在许多城市和内郊区发现的社区，为居民提供了许多社交互动的机会和场所。我们将TND的原则应用于一个公共房屋项目的重新设计。我们称我们的方法为“参与架构”。以弗吉尼亚州诺福克的一个公共住房项目Diggs镇为例，我们探讨了TND原则的应用如何将一个社会疏离和痛苦的社区转变为一个社会整合和功能性的社区。我们发现，TND技术通过促进创造社会资本的社会交流来提高生活质量。
Abstract This article examines how traditional neighborhood design (TND) can restore a sense of community to distressed neighborhoods. Traditional neighborhoods, such as those found in many cities and inner suburbs, provide their residents numerous opportunities and venues for social interaction. We apply the principles of TND to the redesign of a public housing project. We call our approach an “architecture of engagement.” Using a case study of Diggs Town, a public housing project in Norfolk, VA, we explore how the application of TND principles transformed a socially alienated and distressed neighborhood into a socially integrated and functional one. We find that TND techniques improve the quality of life by facilitating the social exchanges that create social capital.
