内容説明
Before September 11, 2001, New York City was in the process of transforming its waterfront after decades of neglect. The tragic events of that day brought into sharper focus the issues surrounding the development of the water's edge, along with a host of more complicated issues involving monuments and icons, public space and public safety, reconstruction and renewal. Will New York's future waterfront development be ruled only by issues of economic necessity, infrastructure and politics, or can it embrace innovative design as well? Raymond W. Gastil, director of the Van Alen Institute, an organization dedicated to improving the design of the public realm, makes a case for the importance of inspired design in the redevelopment of Manhattan's waterfront. His detailed analysis of design proposals is set against the backdrop of the city's history, its public process, and its ecological priorities and is informed by interviews with project architects and other key players.
Taking as points of reference the reinvigoration of London, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Bilbao - all cities with high-profile waterfronts, where designers, landscape architects and artists have been instrumental in creating memorable buildings, parks and spaces - Gastil proposes an approach to the redevelopment of New York's waterfront.
