项目摘要

Scheduled to take place over a period of 3 years this practice-based research project will undertake a series of site-specific studies of urban rhythms, atmospheres, textures, practices and patterns of behaviour using the sensate, performing human body as a data-gathering sensor in the first instance and applying techniques of writing or notation and technologies of sound/oral recording, photography and film in the second instance to respond to, document and process such fieldwork activity. The third and final phase of the research programme will be to visualise and present documented text, sound and image material both as an online, interactive mapping of the urban sites in question (presented as a prototypical mixed media website) and via a 'smart' device. The project will also culminate in an exhibition, incorporating a 1-day symposium, and a co-curated publication. Together these outputs will present the findings of the project in a form that is accessible to a broader public as well as to specialists in fields related to the design and planning of urban futures. They will be worked towards in 4 distinctive, practice-based 'micro-projects', aiming to present conclusions about the constitution, character and morphology of urban space as public space, habitable space and sustainable space by monitoring the instinctive reactions of the body. In other words, as a symptom of the degree to which cities are changing in the 21st century, it will examine the effects on the practices and behaviours of urban dwellers of key features of the atmospheric, aesthetic force-field that is modern-day urban space.The specific focus of the project, which will lay down a marker for future projects to follow suit in other cities, will be the city of Coventry (UK). This has a particularly resonant recent history of mid-20th century destruction and erasure after the devastating bombing of the city in 1940, which effaced its medieval origins (including its cathedral), followed by rapidly implemented post-war modernist reconstruction based principally on serving the city's burgeoning car industry and creating a civic-minded, functional city for working citizens. Now, in the early 21st century, the city finds itself again in a transitional moment, poised as it is for a further phase of significant regeneration, this time of its declining post-war infrastructure. This has witnessed a second radical effacement in the form of a car industry that has been rendered almost non-existence owing to a range of socio-economic factors and developments. As such Coventry offers a plethora of intriguing and revealing public sites, often circumscribed or governed by atrophying instances of functionalist modernist architecture, street furniture and the built environment in general that were designed and constructed at a time of high local authority investment in an ideal of civic responsibility, democratic participation, welfare provision and social commitment, to say nothing of industrial optimism. Initiatives are under way in the city to prepare it for a bid (in 2017) to become UK City of Culture in 2021, which would serve as the central strategy in a programme of urban regeneration. The implementation of arts practices as the means to track and galvanise urban change is therefore an idea that is very much 'in play' at this point in time. Irrespective of the bid's outcome, an aim of the proposed research is that its findings will be able to contribute directly to the project of revitalisation, not least since regeneration programmes frequently become ensnared in abstract planning, ignoring such factors as embodied interactions with public space and the 'felt', experiential and everyday sides of urban living. Moreover, while Coventry will serve as a prototype for the particular project in question, the ultimate aim is to devise a portfolio of rationalised research practices in the form of a functional paradigm that may be applied in any given urban contexts.

这个基于实践的研究项目计划在3年内进行，将对城市节奏、气氛、纹理、实践和行为模式进行一系列特定地点的研究，首先将人体作为数据收集传感器，并应用书写或符号技术和声音/口头记录技术，摄影和电影在第二种情况下，以回应，文件和处理这样的实地考察活动。研究计划的第三阶段也是最后阶段将是可视化和呈现记录的文本、声音和图像材料，既作为一个在线的、互动的城市网站地图（作为一个原型的混合媒体网站），也通过一个“智能”设备。该项目还将以一个展览为高潮，包括一个为期一天的研讨会和一个共同策划的出版物。这些产出将共同以一种更广泛的公众以及与城市未来的设计和规划有关的领域的专家可以获得的形式介绍项目的调查结果。他们将致力于4个独特的，基于实践的“微型项目”，旨在通过监测身体的本能反应，提出关于城市空间的构成，特征和形态的结论，作为公共空间，可居住空间和可持续空间。换句话说，作为21世纪城市变化程度的一个征兆，它将研究现代城市空间的大气和美学力场的主要特征对城市居民的实践和行为的影响。该项目的具体重点将是考文垂市（英国），这将为其他城市的未来项目奠定一个标志。这有一个特别共鸣的近代历史的世纪中期的破坏和擦除后的城市在1940年的毁灭性轰炸，抹去了它的中世纪起源（包括它的大教堂），其次是迅速实施战后现代主义重建的基础上，主要服务于城市的蓬勃发展的汽车工业和创造一个有公民意识的，功能的城市工作的公民。现在，在21世纪初，这座城市再次处于一个过渡时期，准备进入另一个重要的重建阶段，这一次是战后基础设施的衰退。由于一系列社会经济因素和事态发展，汽车工业几乎不复存在，这是第二次彻底消失。因此，考文垂提供了大量有趣和揭示的公共场所，通常受到功能主义现代主义建筑，街道设施和建筑环境的萎缩实例的限制或管理，这些建筑环境是在地方当局对公民责任，民主参与，福利提供和社会承诺的理想投资的时候设计和建造的，更不用说工业乐观主义了。该市正在采取措施，为2017年申办2021年成为英国文化之城做准备，这将成为城市再生计划的中心战略。因此，将艺术实践作为跟踪和激励城市变化的手段，是一个在这个时候非常“发挥作用”的想法。无论投标结果如何，拟议研究的一个目标是，其研究结果将能够直接为振兴项目做出贡献，尤其是因为再生计划经常陷入抽象规划，忽视了与公共空间和城市生活的“感觉”，体验和日常方面的具体互动等因素。此外，虽然考文垂将作为一个原型的特定项目的问题，最终的目标是设计一个合理化的研究实践组合的形式，可以在任何给定的城市环境中应用的功能范式。
