浅论新科技对城市环境规划与设计

Abstract

科技在近十年来发展迅猛已经是不争的事实，它正在不断挑战和刷新人们对城市环境、人 类生活，甚至是人性本身的固有认知。同时，它对城市环境规划与设计的冲击也不容忽视，且需 要相关规划设计人员积极应对。科技并没有严格的权威定义，它是一个不断自我更新的概念。狭 义而言，人类发明或发现的新材料、新技术和新数据等属于科技范畴；广义而言，其也可包括由 新材料、新技术和新数据产生的新的行为、情感、观念和哲学。本文从图像技术、被图像驯服 的设计、设计师的困境、虚拟现实、个人移动电子设备、大数据技术、肉身桎梏、公共空间和自 然9个方面探讨了科技的发展在当代及未来可能对城市环境的规划与设计产生的积极或消极影响。鉴于这一讨论目标的宏大性，本文只是一种挂一漏万的尝试，并未为所提出的问题提供确凿的答案，而希望通过对9个重要话题的探讨，促进读者对这些问题的深入了解和独立思考。

There is no doubt that science and technology have progressed rapidly in the past decade and it is constantly challenging and refreshing people’s understanding of urban environment, human life, and even human nature itself. Meanwhile, its impact on urban environment planning and design should not be ignored and needs to be addressed promptly. The concept of science and technology is self-renewing and has no universal or authoritative definition. In a narrow sense, new science and technology may cover any new materials, technologies, and data invented or discovered by a human; in a broader sense, it might also study new behaviors, emotions, concepts, and philosophy arisen by new materials, technologies, and data. This article explores both positive and negative impacts of science and technology development on urban environment planning and design from nine aspects: image technology, image-tamed design, designers’ dilemma, virtual reality, personal mobile electronic devices, big data, human physical limits, public spaces, and nature. Instead of trying to provide definite answers to these questions, this article seeks to encourage readers’ to understand and think of these topics through a brief discussion.
