商品描述

Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval tells the story of an unlikely partnership between June Jordan and R. Buckminster Fuller, and their attempt to reimagine Harlem in the wake of the 1964 riots.

In the tense days leading up to the 2020 American elections, then-candidate for Pennsylvania State Senate Nikil Saval addressed a virtual audience at the Harvard GSD to tell a story about Black feminist writer June Jordan and a little-known project that resulted from the aftermath of the 1964 Harlem riot. The events of police brutality and community grieving made a lasting impression on Jordan, who, while known for her work as a poet, playwright, and activist, responded with a proposal for a multiple-tower housing design. Through an unlikely partnership with R. Buckminster Fuller, Jordan's "Skyrise for Harlem" project offered a Futuristic vision for Harlem that argued for environmental redesign: "it is architecture, conceived of in its fullest meaning as the creation of environment, which may actually determine the pace, pattern, and quality of living experience."

Jordan was not an architect in the conventional sense, Saval says. "But in the understanding of someone who sought to propose and build interventions in public space, she was."

商品描述(中文翻譯)

賓夕法尼亞州參議員尼基爾·薩瓦爾(Nikil Saval)講述了六月·喬丹(June Jordan)與R. 巴克敏斯特·富勒(R. Buckminster Fuller)之間不太可能的夥伴關係,以及他們在1964年騷亂後重新構想哈萊姆的嘗試。

在2020年美國大選前緊張的日子裡,當時的賓夕法尼亞州參議院候選人尼基爾·薩瓦爾在哈佛設計研究生院(Harvard GSD)對虛擬觀眾發表演講,講述了黑人女性主義作家六月·喬丹和一個鮮為人知的項目的故事,該項目源於1964年哈萊姆騷亂的後果。警察暴行和社區哀悼的事件對喬丹留下了深刻的印象,儘管她以詩人、劇作家和活動家的身份而聞名,但她以一個多塔樓住宅設計的提案作出回應。通過與R. 巴克敏斯特·富勒的不太可能的夥伴關係,喬丹的「哈萊姆摩天大樓」(Skyrise for Harlem)項目提供了一個未來主義的哈萊姆願景,主張環境重新設計:「這是建築,從其最完整的意義上來看,作為環境的創造,實際上可能決定生活體驗的步伐、模式和質量。」

薩瓦爾表示,喬丹在傳統意義上並不是一位建築師。「但在尋求提議並在公共空間中建設干預的人的理解中,她是的。」
