洛克菲勒中心号称是20世纪最伟大的都市计划之一，这块区域对于公共空间的运用也开启了城市规划的新风貌，完整的商场与办公大楼让曼哈顿中城继华尔街之后，成为纽约第二个市中心。

BACKGROUND

课题背景

The studio will focus on a Manhattan superblock. The ubiquitous Manhattan grid was established in 1811. The grid created oblong- shaped blocks, varying slightly in size (approx. 200’ x1,000’), comprised of a repetition of parcels organized linearly and back-to-back (approx. 25’ x 100’). With the advance of technology and the ability to build bigger, the single parcel proved too constraining to accommodate the more ambitious projects. With the introduction of mega-projects in the 20th century, even whole blocks proved inadequate.

无处不在的曼哈顿网格建于1811年。网格形成了椭圆形的块状，大小各不同（大约200’x 1,000’），由重复的线性排列的以及背靠背排列的区域组成（大约25’x 100’）。随着技术的进步和建造能力的提高，单个区域被证明太过局限而无法容纳大型的项目。随着20世纪大型项目的引入，甚至整个街区都被认为是不适合建造的。

TASKS

课题任务

The challenge of the studio is to re-conceptualize a mega-block such as Rockefeller Center in New York City. The studio will be divided into two main phases.

该studio面临的挑战是重新构建一个巨型街区，如纽约市的洛克菲勒中心。该studio将分为两个主要阶段。

The first phase will focus on the urban scale and massing. The studio will re-plan Rockefeller Center/Central Park at the urban scale. As a starting point, the project will return to the site configuration that existed at the conception of the original project planning. The new master plan(s) and massing studies will provide the urban context for architectural proposals.

第一阶段将主要关注城市规模和体量。studio将从城市的尺度来重新规划洛克菲勒中心/中央公园。作为项目的起始点，项目将重新关注最原始的场地构造。新的总体规划和体量研究将为建筑方案提供城市场地背景。

Phase II: Architecture

The second phase will focus on the architectural scale. Each team will design in more detail the architecture of the urban scale plans.This exercise will fulfill the urban ambitions through architecture.

第二阶段：建筑

第二阶段将主要关注建筑尺度大小。每个小组将更详细地设计规划中的建筑。这项练习将通过建筑实现城市的野心
