书籍介绍

The New Babylon Project was a project that consisted of a vast, layered, sheltered structure, supported by pillars and covering the entire earth. Human labor is rendered superfluous. Dwelling, work, recreation and transportation take a back seat to that which drives Homo Ludens, creativity. Constant was proposing an alternate society and along with it, an alternate architecture. Not just for those with architectural concerns, but for anyone who thinks.

用户评论
康斯坦特的全集。图和文字都有。其实库哈斯早期那几个霸气的方案(法国国家图书馆等)基本都可以看成各种“sectors”的变体。
非常详细又好读的new babylon的梳理。比wigley其他很多text都要简单具体很多。
充满巨构想象,各类正负形,点状网格与放射线。(Constant's的形式真的很接近学生作业了,在校也有朋友专门玩这种geometry,十分有趣
巨全的合集。能够从作品和文字之间互文出一个constant。夜深读来非常孤独又非常可爱
作者把Constant称为Hyper architect,将他的创作放置于International situationist和Team 10的边界线上,New Babylon这个14年的项目确实完成了其从单纯“playground”的虚拟构思到被Situate在各种城市背景之上的过程。这书图纸很全,但是还是太小了,有些图纸很难读到上面的信息,看了会更想去阿姆斯特丹看原比例的图纸和模型了。
