- 1. 大家好！
- 2. Building Cities: Perspectives from China My talk is more experiential than academic; from the point of view of a practicing architect. I designed close to 6 million m2 of buildings, and about 600,000 m2 were built . (1 in 10) . “Those with manual skill without scholarship have never been able to reach a position of authority to correspond to their pains, while those who relied only upon theories and scholarship were obviously hunting the shadow, not the substance. But those who have a through knowledge of both, like men armed at all points, have sooner attained their object and carried authority with them.” Vitruvius

- 132. The world was one, and we had to be anxiously concerned about its needs. We had to build a new kind of world, one that was just, one that transcended nationalism, sexism, racism and any kind of religious intolerance. Cultural diversity was important. Our survival included searching for synergetic relationships and preserving the cultural gene pool. Expo 67

- 186. Building Cities: Perspectives from China 1. China’s Rapid Urbanization Begins; Challenges for Architects 2. Examples of My Work in China 3. From Canada to China A Concluding Thought Why are we building cities? What is China’s role? Cities are the infrastructure and nodes of an emerging global community.
- 187. "The Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth.” T. de Chardin The Great Unity, All Under Heaven is One Family (China) Maturation of Humanity (Baha’i) All-inclusive Family (Toynbee) Omega Point (de Chardin) Grand Synthesis (Lazlo) Majestic House (Du Fu) Global Village (McLuhan) New World Order India Africa China Jewish / Christian / Western Indigenous North America Islam A Shared Dream A Common History A Common Heritage A Common Home A Common Future Evolution has a purpose "Heaven is my father and earth is my mother.. all people are my brothers and sisters, and all things are my companions...“ Zhang Zai (1020-77) McGill Poet, Frank Scott “The world is my country The human race is my race” Map of Human Maturation
- 189. The construction of the inner and outer city is a necessary part of the construction of the Great Unity. Cities are nodes of the global village. Urbanization Wave: West/China/India/Africa. China has much to offer, not just city-building experience.
- 192. World Community Globalization Empire/Nation City/City-State Tribe Family The Evolution of Social and Political Order Greater and greater release of human capacity
- 193. Humanity’s Collective Maturation Process (process comparable to the maturation of the individual) 专制型放纵型 Summary (2 of 2) Humanity’s collective maturation can be compared to the maturation of the individual.
- 194. China was the leader of our collective development until about AD1300.
- 195. Development continued with Islam, from about 600 to 1500, building a civilization, a knowledge bridge, that stretched from Fuzhou to Seville. The fruits of the Chinese, Hindu, Jewish, and Greek worlds – and everything in between – was absorbed and shared across all that same territory.
- 196. Islam’s turn to lead exactly corresponded with the Dark Ages of the West. Islamic civilization caused the Renaissance in Europe. The west has led us into the 20th century. Its materialistic consumer paradigm currently dominates the globalization process.
- 197. The world is challenged to build a civilization that is both materially and spiritually advanced, and that draws on our collective heritage.
- 198. Learning from the Discourse on Social and Economic Development “Outer” City “Inner” City Architects grow in Discourse “A” but the inclusiveness habit spreads the search, and Discourse “A” begins to merge with Discourse “B”. Some Criteria for the Sustainable “Outer City” • Mixed-use • Rich street life based on pedestrians and public transportation • New green city infrastructure for water and waste • A net zero energy and water community • Agriculture imbedded into the community Some Criteria for the Sustainable “Inner City” • On-going Capacity Building • Individuals who are constructive, responsible protagonists • Communities that are originators and encouragers, that work together with a common purpose • Institutions that provide for meaningful participation
