建筑不仅仅是造型的问题,而且成为都市文化的载体。建筑师不仅仅是设计某种形式,而是创造社会性的公共空间。建筑设计并不是一种有关形式的知识,而是探索世界的知识形式。人们也可以通过其他方式探索世界,比如电影导演、艺术家,也可以作为建筑师来观察这个世界。

Elliptic City (IFCA)
Los Llanos,Dominican Republic
In this commission for a majorFinancialCenterin theCaribbean, Bernard Tschumi explores a new concept where nature and finance merge in an unexpected manner. Instead of imposing a rigid master plan on the site, Tschumi proposes a flexible landscape of buildings and gardens ready to accommodate an array of activities, from a business center to a hotel, an ocean club, shopping areas, and so on. The project is located in theDominican Republic, 14miles outside ofSanto Domingo. Construction will begin in 2008, with the first-phase completion scheduled for 2010. It is expected that 30000 people will live and work in the described project.
The Independent Financial Centre of theAmericasis a master plan for a 7800 acre site. The site is heavily vegetated, sandwiched between two major highways and touching theCarribeanSeaat its south west corner. We were inspired by theDominican Republic’s long standing history of ecological preservation and, in keeping with this tradition, we developed a master plan with a sensitive imprint, allowing more than half of the available land to remain ‘natural’. The master plan includes infrastructure improvements such as a power plant, a water treatment plant, a waste treatment plant, three bridges and highway infrastructure. Planned facilities include 9 million square feet of offices within a financial services zone, more than 20000 units of housing decicated to recreational park land, a lifestyle center, a regional retail center, an international school, an ocean club, and a hotel convention center as well as infrastructure, housing and community services facilities for the neighboring town ofGuayacannes.
