Science City

“科学城：纽约作为一个科学技术展览”的目标是通过在纽约市的公共场所创造“发现展品”来提高公众在日常生活中对科学技术的认识和兴趣。这个建议是基于1986年的一个试点项目，该项目开发了成功的科学城单元的标准和概念，并在世界贸易中心的旅游电梯中运行了一个原型展览。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和技术。它将触及那些不去科学博物馆的不关心科学的公众。引人注目的展品，如安装在公交候车亭上的衍射光栅，将揭示白炽灯、荧光灯、霓虹灯和汞蒸气灯的不同光谱，这些灯已经成为街景的一部分。纽约科学馆将在公园、地铁、公交亭和大楼大堂举办科学城展览。10到15个不同的展品/标志，每个平均复制10次，将在皇后区和曼哈顿区安装和评估。

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.
