We are becoming an urban species to a degree unimaginable as recently as a third of a century ago, when only one out of three people dwelled in cities. Today they— we— are the majority, growing worldwide at more than one million per week.1 The knowledge required to address such urbanization is, of course, spread among many disciplines and areas of knowledge. This collection of essays examines the contribution of the varied enterprises that can be collected under the umbrella of “urban design.” Far from coalescing into a singular set of activities, urban design has, over the half century that it gained autonomy from its progeni- tor design and planning disciplines, evolved less as a technical disci- pline than as a frame of mind shared by those of several disciplinary foundations committed to cities and to improving urban ways of life. This I consider its strength, though not everyone concurs with such vii viii | Alex Krieger Art2Architecture, EDAW, Tadao Ando Architects, and Ove Arup, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester, England, 2001. Copyright EDAW. Photograph by Dixi Carrillo. a sweeping, some would say vague, view of urban design. There are those for whom urban design represents a very particular set of skills, specifi c areas of professional focus, and even a particular “look.” But no singular defi nition of urban design is broadly shared.2 The absence of a simple defi nition remains a conceptual hurdle for some. How, they ask, can any enterprise perform its fundamental role, much less gain broad social status and responsibilities, without being able to explicitly describe its essential purpose? There is con- siderable skepticism, even in this volume dedicated to urban design, about the very possibility of “designing” cities or substantial parts of them. Each essayist wrestles with this dilemma, acknowledging the inherent diffi culties of designing urbanity, while remaining commit- ted to that goal. The eighteen essays in this volume were commissioned over several years, with four written as commentary on the others, which were fi rst published in two consecutive issues of Harvard Design Magazine in 2006 and 2007. A number of the essays rely on the infl uential 1956 conference on urban design, held at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, as a point of departure to offer perspective on the intellectual distances traveled since 1956. The essays, along with excerpts of the 1956 conference proceed- ix | ings and a transcript of a discussion on urban design held at Harvard Introduction in 2006, are organized into six parts. While each essay touches on many themes and is not easily categorized, the purpose of the loose grouping is to highlight key issues about the nature of urban design. Among the themes that recur across the essays, I would highlight the following three as central to current debates around urban design practice. Changing Disciplinary Allegiances The modern concept of urban design grew out of still familiar mid- twentieth- century concerns: urban sprawl at city peripheries and decay in aging central areas. A goal was to fi nd “common ground” among the design disciplines (namely architecture and urban planning) for dealing with the kinds of exasperating problems that are beyond the mastery of any single design discipline. However, most agree— some enthusiastically and others with reservations—that urban design has largely been the domain of urban- minded architects. The proponents of this view argue that since giving shape to urban space and settlement is an essential task of urban design, it requires an architect’s training.3 Still, as the planning profession increasingly reengages physical planning, which it more or less abandoned for a generation, its claims on urban design grow. And physical planning, planners say, involves many issues that, while carrying spatial impli- cations, are not at heart architectural, so an architecture- dominated approach to urban design is limiting. Meanwhile the public at large, with their everyday concerns like housing affordability, traffi c calm- ing, neighborhood enhancement, and containment of development, sees urban design as a friendlier, less abstract concept than planning (which has never fully shed its urban renewal–era reputation as a top- down approach to problem solving) and so demands good urban de- sign from its public planners. But, as several of the essayists write, the most recent and radical (in view of the prior half century) relationship being forged is with landscape architecture. Urban and landscape design have generally been viewed as separate, if not confl icting, activities. The initial cadre of self-described urban designers, primarily architects, viewed urban design as at the intersection of planning and architecture, where it would mediate and overcome the perceived gaps between the two. x | Alex Krieger The goals of landscape architects were seen as peripheral and over time were even accused of facilitating decentralizing tendencies and suburbanization. Urban design, many believed, had to concern itself primarily with the tougher mandates of Modern architecture and its transformative urban manifestos, not with the softer art of designing with natural things or fostering kindness to ecosystems.4 An emerging generation of designers calling themselves landscape urbanists questions the supposition that urban design insight is the prerogative of architectural form-making sensibilities alone and asks, “Isn’t the landscape the real glue of the modern metropolis?” This startling proposition becomes less revolutionary the moment one tours virtually any contemporary metropolitan area from the air to observe the small proportion of building as compared to landscape. We are no longer building the solid city represented in fi gure- ground plans in which open space is what is left where there are no buildings, or what is shaped by surrounding built form. While still somewhat vague in methodology and projects, the promise of landscape urbanism is power- ful, since it promotes a logical integration of land use, environmental stewardship, and place making. The increasing intellectual claims on urban design from urban planning and especially from landscape architecture present the most fascinating recent developments for the fi eld.

Mayor John Lindsay introduced a plan to control and guide development there, and encouraged planned unit development. The Rouse Company, then building Columbia, Maryland, was contracted to plan new communities for the southern third of Staten Island to more than double the borough’s population. State Senator John Marchi introduced legislation for the South Richmond Development Corporation in 1971. The plan called for the city to use eminent domain to buy property and transfer it to the Rouse Company, which would also construct residential towers on landfill in Raritan Bay. Behind the banner of private property rights, the Conservative Party led opposition to the proposal, and their influence over elected officials on Staten Island led to the legislation’s defeat in Albany.

  • The Dissolving Corporation
    THE DISSOLVING CORPORATION Contemporary Architecture and Corporate Identity in Finland Peter MacKeith www.eva.fi EVA´s homepage contains reports, articles and other material in Finnish and in English. Publisher: Taloustieto Oy Cover: Antti Eklund Printing: Yliopistopaino 2005 ISBN 951-628-424-8 PREFACE In the past few years, the Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA has treated the issues of creativity and business-culture interaction with growing interest. This report is an extension of the June, 2004 EVA conference on “Creativity through Competitiveness” and is published in co-operation with the Creative Finland Association. Entertaining a subject quite different from past EVA report themes, this essay offers one perspective on the state of Finnish corporate architecture within the more general context of corporate management practices and ar- chitectural innovations. In this report, Professor Peter MacKeith argues that in the contempora- ry moment of global, open-market economies, Finnish architecture is at a critical juncture. This condition is reflected precisely in recent headquarters architecture produced by Finnish corporations. Whereas a hundred years ago corporate headquarters were central elements of the surrounding cultural and urban environment, expressing values of the emerging national consciousness, today’s Finnish corporate headquar- ters have adopted a style of neutrality and anonymity, and situated themselves outside of the public realm. Professor MacKeith calls for a corporate architecture that takes into account issues of sustainable de- velopment and the corporation’s relationship to the society, culture and civic realm in which it is physically situated. Along with the desired image and values communicated by a building’s form to the outside world, corporate office planning has also adopted new objectives.

Quercus (oak) collection by Jon Hetman Introduction arly this spring, the Arnold Arboretum began construction of a new research and administration building at Weld Hill, Ea fourteen-acre parcel of land adjacent to the grounds of the Arboretum (see Figure 1). It will be the first major building added in nearly half a century. The Weld Hill facility, as we are calling it for now, will have nearly 44,000 square feet of floor area and cost approximately $42,000,000. Its greenhouses, growth chambers, and modern laborato- ries will provide state-of-the-art facilities for plant research. The construction of the building marks a major milestone in the history of the Arboretum and a reaffirmation of our mission as a research institution at Harvard University. In this Director’s Report, I will focus on a physical description of the building and its location, the decisions that led to its construction, and the implications of its Figure 1.
