Science City

科学城：纽约作为科技展览的目标是通过在纽约市的公共场所创建“发现的展览”来提高公众对日常生活中科学技术的认识和兴趣。 该提案基于 1986 年的一个试点项目，该项目为成功的科学城单元和世贸中心旅游电梯中运行的原型展览制定了标准和概念。 科学城将利用纽约的街道和建筑来展示日常生活中的科学技术。 它将影响那些不去科学博物馆、对科学不专心的公众。 引人注目的展品，例如安装在公交车候车亭上的衍射光栅，将展示白炽灯、荧光灯、霓虹灯和水银蒸气灯的不同光谱，这些已经成为街景的一部分。 纽约科学馆将在公园、地铁、公交车亭和建筑大堂放置科学城展品。 将在皇后区和曼哈顿区安装和评估 10 到 15 个不同的展品/标志，每个展品/标牌平均复制 10 次。

The goal of Science City: New York as a Science and Technology Exhibit, is to increase public awareness and interest in science and technology in daily life by creating "found exhibits" in public places throughout New York City. This proposal is based on a 1986 pilot project which developed criteria and concepts for successful Science City units and a prototype exhibit operating in a tourist elevator at the World Trade Center. Science City will use the streets and structures of New York to present the science and technology of everyday life. It will reach the science inattentive public who do not go to science museums. Eye-catching exhibits such as diffraction gratings mounted on bus shelters will reveal the different spectra of the incandescent, flourescent, neon, and mercury vapor lamps, already part of the street scene. The New York Hall of Science will place Science City exhibits in public parks, subways, bus kiosks, and building lobbies. Ten to fifteen different exhibits/signs, each replicated an average of 10 times, will be installed and evaluated throughout the boroughs of Queens and Manhattan.
