Sustainability and the 24-hour City: A Collaboration with the Creative Arts

围绕城市可持续性的问题通常被认为是无定形和不透明的，但它们是由每个城市居民、工人和游客每天做出的决定和生活方式选择组成的。让城市的日常使用者了解城市的可持续性问题是很重要的。这个项目提出了一个装置，在Urbis，曼彻斯特的城市博物馆，并在2006年伦敦建筑双年展，在Clerkenwell。该装置的目的是通过与合作艺术家和作家/剧作家合作，发展可访问的和图形化的24小时城市：它的问题，解决方案和权衡。这将通过创新和实验性地使用交流的艺术形式来实现，可能包括但不限于戏剧，雕塑，视觉艺术，由技术驱动的艺术（声音，视觉），讲故事和其他由艺术家决定的媒体。提出的问题将来自VivaCity2020和Aunt-SUE正在进行的研究，涵盖环境质量、安全、公共便利、住房、城市遗产保护、交通和街道设计等问题。该装置将反映人们目前对这些问题的看法，以及重叠和权衡（例如需要将行动不便的人的人身安全和可达性纳入成功的交通政策和设计安全和理想的居住场所），以及未来需要做出哪些改变才能使城市成为人们想要生活，工作和参观的地方。该项目将至少部分侧重于通过VivaCity2020开展的案例研究工作。本案例研究工作是研究城市中心生活的环境质量设计，并开发了一种独特的方法来解决其研究问题。收集室外空气质量数据（CO, NO2， PM10和温度）以及噪音水平；收集室内空气质量（CO, CO2，温度和湿度）；居民们对他们的社区进行照片调查和声音行走，然后接受采访。案例研究地点包括克勒肯韦尔和曼彻斯特。这种方法产生了大量关于人们对当地感知的数据，以及照片和声音。这将由AUNT-SUE的案例研究补充，特别是“为所有人设计”原则在城市交通和街道设计中的应用，特别是参考姑妈- sue合作伙伴伦敦交通局和大曼彻斯特客运管理局目前的倡议。艺术家们将被要求设计一个结合这些元素的展览，并反馈给每个社区（Clerkenwell和Manchester）居民的看法，以及两个地区之间的比较。

The issues surrounding urban sustainability are often considered amorphous and opaque, yet they are comprised of decisions and lifestyle choices made everyday by every city resident, worker and tourist. It is important that urban sustainability issues are made accessible to the everyday user of the city.This project proposes an installation at Urbis, Manchester's museum devoted to the city, and at the London Architecture Biennale 2006, in Clerkenwell. The purpose of the installation is to develop, through working in partnership with a collaborating artist and writer/dramatist, accessible and graphic representations of the 24-hour city: its problems, solutions and trade-offs. This will be achieved through the innovative and experimental use of artistic formats of communication possibly including, but not limited to, drama, sculpture, visual art, art driven by technology (sound, vision), storytelling and other media to be determined by the artists.The issues raised will come from research being conducted by VivaCity2020 and Aunt-SUE, covering such issues as environmental quality, security, public conveniences, housing, urban heritage conservation, transport and street design. The installation will reflect people's current perceptions of these issues, along with overlaps and trade offs (such as the need to incorporate personal safety and accessibility for mobility impaired people into a successful transport policy and designing secure and desirable places to live) and what changes need to be made in the future to make cities places people want to live, work and visit.The project will focus at least in part on case study work being undertaken through VivaCity2020. This case study work is researching designing environmental quality into city centre living and has developed a unique methodology to approach its research question. Outdoor air quality data is collected (CO, NO2, PM10 and temperature) along with noise levels; indoor air quality is collected (CO, CO2, temperature and humidity); and residents undertake a photo survey and sound-walk of their neighbourhood and are then interviewed. Case study sites include Clerkenwell and Manchester. This methodology has produced a lot of data about people's perceptions of their local area, along with photographs and sounds. This will be complemented by case studies from AUNT-SUE, especially the application of 'Design for All' principles to urban transport and street design, with particular reference to current initiatives by AUNT-SUE partners Transport for London and Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Authority. The artists will be asked to develop an exhibit that incorporates these elements and feeds back to each community (Clerkenwell and Manchester) resident's perceptions as well as comparisons between the two areas.
