商品描述

Leading scholars explore the connections between democracy and justice, architecture and urban design, the growth of cities, cosmopolitanism, inclusion, and free speech.

This book builds on conversations that took place in the fall of 2024 at Harvard's Graduate School of Design to mark the release of the book Democracy and Urban Form, co-published by Harvard Design Press and Sternberg Press. The original book presented a series of six eponymous lectures given by sociologist Richard Sennett at the GSD in 1981. Despite having been delivered in a very different political climate, his core insights into the connections between democracy and justice, matters of architecture and urban design, the growth of cities, cosmopolitanism, inclusion, free speech, and other related matters remain highly relevant today. To reflect on these urgencies, the GSD invited political philosopher Michael Sandel to address themes from the new edition of his book Democracy's Discontent. In his opening talk, Sandel encouraged the audience to consider what might account for the polarization that threatens democracy today, and what might be done about it. Following an analysis of the forces that were then about to decide the 2024 election, he proposes a bold project of civic renewal to reimagine the economy and empower citizens. The next day, these provocations informed a panel discussion that included Richard Sennett, Diane Davis, Claire Zimmerman, Markus Miessen, and Miguel Robles-Durán. As well as reflecting on Sandel's talk specifically, they also more generally consider the state of democracy relative to architecture and the design and planning of cities and metropolitan regions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

領先的學者探討民主與正義、建築與城市設計、城市成長、世界主義、包容性及言論自由之間的聯繫。

本書基於2024年秋季在哈佛設計研究生院舉行的對話，旨在慶祝書籍民主與城市形態的發行，該書由哈佛設計出版社與斯特恩堡出版社共同出版。原書呈現了社會學家理查德·塞內特（Richard Sennett）於1981年在GSD發表的六場同名講座。儘管這些講座是在截然不同的政治氣候下進行的，但他對民主與正義、建築與城市設計、城市成長、世界主義、包容性、言論自由及其他相關議題之間聯繫的核心見解，至今仍然具有高度的相關性。為了反思這些緊迫性，GSD邀請政治哲學家邁克爾·桑德爾（Michael Sandel）探討其新書民主的不滿中的主題。在他的開場演講中，桑德爾鼓勵觀眾思考當前威脅民主的兩極化現象的原因，以及可以採取的應對措施。在分析了當時即將決定2024年選舉的力量後，他提出了一個大膽的公民重建計畫，以重新構想經濟並賦權公民。第二天，這些挑戰引發了一場小組討論，參與者包括理查德·塞內特、黛安·戴維斯（Diane Davis）、克萊爾·齊默曼（Claire Zimmerman）、馬庫斯·米森（Markus Miessen）和米格爾·羅布萊斯-杜蘭（Miguel Robles-Durán）。他們不僅具體反思了桑德爾的演講，還更廣泛地考慮了民主相對於建築及城市和大都市區設計與規劃的現狀。

作者簡介

Diane E. Davis is the Charles Dyer Norton Professor of Regional Planning and Urbanism and former Chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design at Harvard's Graduate School of Design (GSD). Her current research focuses on spatial strategies and territorial assemblages that minimize risk and foster resilience in the face of violence, climate migration, ecological crisis, and other vulnerabilities. Davis was recently named Fellow and Co-Director of a five-year project titled "Humanity's Urban Future" funded by the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR).

Markus Miessen is an architect and writer, and in 2021 was appointed Professor of Urban Regeneration at the University of Luxembourg, where he holds the Chair of the City of Esch. Miessen has previously taught at the Architectural Association (London), the Berlage Institute (Rotterdam), has been a Harvard GSD Fellow (Cambridge), and has held professorships at Städelschule (Frankfurt), HEAD (Geneva), the University of Southern California (Los Angeles), and HDK-Valand (Gothenburg). As a spatial consultant, he currently works with the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism. Amongst many other books and writings, Miessen is the author of The Nightmare of Participation and Crossbenching (both Sternberg Press), and has edited volumes such as Para-Platforms: On the Spatial Politics of Right-Wing Populism, The Archive as a Productive Space of Conflict, Agonistic Assemblies: On the Spatial Politics of Horizontality, and, with Nikolaus Hirsch, is the coeditor of the book series "Critical Spatial Practice". Since 2024, he is also a Dean's Visiting Professor at Columbia GSAPP, NY.
