PXSTL架构竞赛

寒江吹雪

项目名称：PXSTL架构竞赛
所 在 地：圣路易斯
关于PXSTL架构的建议是由在华盛顿大学的选手之一的普利策基础艺术，萨姆•福克斯设计与视觉艺术学院共同参与提出的。参与者要在圣路易斯的一个空地上，重新建造一个文化中心区，并发挥它至关重要的作用，探索艺术和文化创造的活力。竞争的目的是在于演示如何促进大规模的城市，向着小型规模的转换，并强调社区的参与和互动的元素的重要性，在圣路易斯的许多文化上强调的是跨学科的组织合作。更多的图片和信息稍后呈现。
决赛名单来自征集的组织者选出来的选手，这代表了一个多样化的视觉和不同样的方法。他们的工作是从能力整合的原则出发的，进行各种创造性的跨学科项目，同时完成一个可以解决城市挑战的探索。获胜的候选人，将被吸纳成为2013年委员会的成员，并获得50000美元的项目预算费用和10000美元的酬金。
竞争带来的是，扩展以后的更大的建筑中心，从1980年开始延续到现在，在探索城市的规划和发展的创新方法上，试图尝试在短期的建筑、绿化、媒体上找到意想不到的技术。未来的圣路易斯，它构建在这座拥有悠久历史传统的城市上，设施的建设能够促进其后续发展。一线城市规划者的眼光在一个多世纪以来，已经拥有很大的变化，今天拥有的埃罗萨利那沙里宁的大拱门和理查德塞拉的吐温都是见证。

Freecell Architecture‘s proposal for the PXSTL
Competition was recently announced one of the three finalists by the Pulitzer
Foundation for the Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at
Washington University. Participants were asked to reimagine a vacant lot in St.
Louis’ Grand Center cultural district while exploring the critical role arts and
culture play in creating vibrant， growing communities. The competition aims to
demonstrate how small-scale interventions can spur large-scale urban
transformation， and Freecell’s proposal was selected for their ability to
visualize Grand Center’s long-term vitality， emphasizing community engagement，
interactive elements， and cross-disciplinary collaboration among St. Louis’ many
cultural organizations. More images and information after the break.
The
finalists were chosen from a group of practitioners following a solicitation
process from PXSTL organizers， and represent a diversity of vision， perspective，
and approach. Their work in public spaces and ability to integrate principles
from a variety of creative processes exemplify the cross-disciplinary focus of
the project and support a robust exploration of how this type of competition can
address urban challenges. The winning candidate， to be selected in early fall
2013 by a panel composed of members of the Pulitzer staff and the Sam Fox School
faculty， will receive a $50，000 project budget and a $10，000 honorarium to
create a temporary， largely self-sustaining construction， landscape strategy， or
other similar intervention.
The competition expands upon the reconception of
Grand Center， which began in 1980 and continues through the present， and
explores innovative approaches to urban planning and development by
2experimenting with short-term constructions， landscaping， ephemeral media， and
unexpected architectural materials and techniques. A direct outgrowth of the
Pulitzer and the Sam Fox School’s shared commitment to rethinking the future of
St. Louis， it builds upon the city’s long tradition of site-specific projects
and temporary installations informing subsequent development. St. Louis’
1，300-acre Forest Park still bears the stamp of the 1904 World’s Fair. The
Gateway Mall， a gleam in the eye of civic planners for more than a century，
today boasts Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch (1966)， Richard Serra’s Twain (1981)，
and Citygarden.
