LOCAL CODE: 3659 PROPOSALS ABOUT DATA, DESIGN, AND THE NATURE OF CITIES
Book ID/图书代码： 11030015B82207
English Summary/英文概要： With three billion more humans projected to be living in cities by 2050, all design is increasingly urban design. And with as much data now produced every day as was produced in all of human history to the year 2007, all architecture is increasingly information architecture. Praised in the New York Times for its "intelligent enquiry and actionable theorizing," Local Code is a collection of data-driven tools and design prototypes for understanding and transforming the physical, social, and ecological resilience of cities.
The book’s data-driven layout arranges drawings of 3,659 digitally-tailored interventions for vacant public land in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Venice, Italy. Between these illustrated case studies, critical essays present surprising and essential links between such designs and the seminal work of urbanist Jane Jacobs, artist Gordon Matta-Clark, and digital mapping pioneer Howard Fisher, along with the developing science of urban nature and complexity. In text and image, Local Code presents a digitally prolific, open-ended approach to urban resilience and social and environmental justice; At once analytic and visionary, it pioneers a new field of enquiry and action at the meeting of big data and the expanding city.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2050年的城市人口预计将达到30亿，所有的设计都将趋向于城市设计。如同过往一样，每天都会产生大量的数据，所有的建筑物也将趋向于信息化。《当地代码》一书因其“智能查询以及可操作化的理论”而被《纽约时代》赞誉。《当地代码》一书中集合了所有为了理解和转化城市物理性、社会性和生态性恢复力而产生的数据驱动工具和设计原型。
《当地代码》中包含了3659张对于旧金山、洛杉矶、纽约、威尼斯和意大利等地闲置公共土地的干预图纸。在这些案例研究插图中穿插了其与开创性城市设计间令人惊讶却重要的关联，这些设计来自于城市学家珍妮•雅各布、艺术家戈登•马特•克莱克、数字地图先锋霍华德•费什，再辅以都市自然和复杂性的发展科学的解析。通过这些文字和图片，《当地代码》展现了对于都市恢复性和社会环境正义中的数字化、多产而开放的方法。这是一本非常善于分析、视角宽泛的作品，在大数据和城市扩张的大背景下，其对智能查询这一新领域起到了先锋作用。（XAT）
