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

围绕城市可持续发展的问题通常被认为是无定形和不透明的，但它们由每个城市居民、工人和游客每天做出的决定和生活方式选择组成。重要的是让城市的日常用户能够接触到城市可持续发展的问题。这个项目建议在曼彻斯特的城市博物馆Urbis和2006年伦敦建筑双年展上安装一个装置，在克勒肯威尔。该装置的目的是通过与合作的艺术家和作家/剧作家合作，以方便和图形的形式呈现这座24小时营业的城市：它的问题、解决方案和权衡。这将通过创新和实验性地使用艺术传播形式来实现，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和苏阿姨正在进行的研究，涵盖环境质量、安全、公共厕所、住房、城市遗产保护、交通和街道设计等问题。该装置将反映人们对这些问题的当前看法，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访问性纳入成功的交通政策，设计安全和理想的居住场所)，以及未来需要做出哪些改变，使城市成为人们想要居住、工作和旅游的地方。该项目将至少部分集中在通过VivaCity2020进行的案例研究工作上。本案例研究工作是研究城市中心生活中的设计环境质量，并发展了一种独特的方法来处理其研究问题。收集室外空气质量数据(CO、NO2、PM10和温度)以及噪声水平；收集室内空气质量(CO、CO2、温度和湿度)；并对居民进行社区照片调查和声音行走，然后进行访谈。案例研究网站包括克莱肯韦尔和曼彻斯特。这种方法产生了大量关于人们对当地的看法的数据，以及照片和声音。这将得到阿姨-苏的案例研究的补充，特别是阿姨-苏的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，将“为所有人设计”的原则应用于城市交通和街道设计。艺术家们将被要求制作一个包含这些元素的展览，并反馈给每个社区(克莱肯韦尔和曼彻斯特)居民的看法以及这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.
