所 在 地:芝加哥
梦幻芝加哥,由亚历山大设计,是目前最富有远见的城市项目,现今在芝加哥世博会画廊展出。作为“城市工程的一部分”,它在构建一个有远见的超过100个未建的计划,跨越历史和未来,它的全景视角创建了一个身临其境的感觉。通过APPLE应用程序,画廊的画壁成为一个接口,连接到一个新城市。
该项目的开始是通过记录和编目芝加哥的设计愿景实现的。大规模的记录、重建这些重大历史建筑的梦想,一直困扰着着设计师,与此同时,也激发了这个城市的想象力。一些项目根据有限的历史资料绘制,因此,需要全景拍摄的同时记录这些建筑发明和研究设计项目。
项目为了与这个城市保持一致,梦幻芝加哥创造了一种新的城市图景,它不是真正的,但却生动地存在于我们的意识中。一个IPHONE程序,芝加哥全景可以制作成功,它允许用户定位和可视化过去的乌托邦计划,同时通过城市旅游,鼓励目前的城市炒作。

phantom chicago, produced by alexander eisenschmidt and his visionary cities
project, is currently on display at the city of chicago's expo 72 gallery until
september 29. as part of 'city works,' a collaborative exhibition previously on
display at the 13 international architecture biennale in venice curated by
eisenschmidt, phantom chicago presents over 100 unbuilt visionary schemes that
collectively form a visionary city that cuts across history and projects into
the future. in its new location, the 160-foot / 50 meters long panorama creates
an immersive environment where the gallery walls become the interface to a new
city that links the different visions to chicago as it exists via an iphone
app
the project began by recording and cataloging hundreds of architectural
and urban visions for chicago, which then became the basis for the meters-long
panoramic drawing. the large-scale visual record transcribes and reconstructs
these significant historical architectural dreams that continue to haunt and
inspire the contemporary urban imagination. solely generated through unbuilt
visionary proposals for the city – such as adolf loos’ tribune tower competition
entry (1922), ludwig hilberseimer’s plan for chicago proposal (1940), hans
hollein’s skyscraper of the future project (1958), or greg lynn’s vision for a
stranded sears tower (1992) – some of the projects are presented in elevation
while others are drawn in section according to the limited historical
information available. therefore, the panorama is simultaneously record and
invention, research and design project, archive and launch-pad for
architecture.
as the projects are organized in relation to one another and in
accordance to their proposed location within the city, phantom chicago creates a
new kind of urban landscape, a parallel chicago that is not real but vividly
exists in our architectural consciousness. coupled with an iphone app, produced
in collaboration with cheng + snyder, the chicago panorama makes connections to
the existing city outside the gallery. it allows users to locate and visualize
past utopian schemes while traveling through the city, with the goal of
encouraging playful urban speculation in the present. |
