科罗纳多CORONADO

有一次，我开车去奥拉克，为了和奥拉和她的一些朋友一起吃饭，半路上我在阿科桑蒂停了一停。她显然不太了解这个地方。也许它不像西内所说的曼哈顿缩影，但作为一个房产生意人，我发现这个地方很有意思。她给我看了一个节目，是她去那里的时候从一个艺术节中保留下来的。她当时一定是忽略了索莱利25层楼的真正意图。我知道那不算摩天大楼了，但它还是很高的。如果你建造很多阿科桑蒂，最终可能不会是另一个曼哈顿，而是一个相当密集的社区。当然，它永远不会再建高几层楼，所以她很想念它。无论如何，这都是一个很好的地方。这是她保存的小册子。你不妨读一下吧，奥拉。就读一下吧。
One time I drove to Oracle for chow with Aura and some of her friends and on the way I stopped at Arcosanti. She obviously hadn’t gotten the whole idea of the place. Maybe it’s not Sine’s so-called microcosm of Manhattan, but as a real estate guy, I find it quite interesting. She showed me a program she’d saved from one of the festivals she went to there. She must have missed the bit about Soleri’s intent that it be 25 stories. I know that’s not a skyscraper anymore, but it’s pretty tall, and if you built many Arcosantis, you would end up maybe not with Manhattan, but something fairly dense. Of course it never got to be more than a few stories, so that’s probably why she missed it. Well, in any case, it’s a very nice place to be. Here’s that brochure she kept. Why don’t you read it Aura. Once, anyway.

奥拉AURA

好了,自作聪明的家伙。我所需要了解的就是索莱里将建筑与生态相结合的实践。至少他在努力。对吧？我来读一些有价值的东西：
Alright, smarty pants. All I need to know is it’s Soleri’s attempt to combine architecture with ecology. At least he’s trying. Alright? - But I’ll read it, for what it’s worth:

1978年阿科桑蒂庆祝活动的节目
1979年阿科桑蒂研习会(循环)，简介：
Arcosanti Festival 1978 Program
Arcosanti Workshops 1979 (circular) Arcosanti: An Introduction:

"阿科桑蒂的建设始于1970年，位于亚利桑那州中部的一块台地，凤凰城以北70英里(靠近科德斯城)。完工后，这座拥有4500-5000人口的城将有25层楼高，[哦，原来你说的就是这个]。将有25层，在860英亩的土地保护区中占地13英亩，它将成为一个在其建筑框架下的社会、经济和生态影响的研究中心......
"The construction of Arcosanti began in 1970 in the mesa country of Central Arizona, 70 miles north of Phoenix [near Cordes Junction]. When completed the town of 4500-5000 people will rise 25 stories, [Oh, so that’s what you’re talking about.], will rise 25 stories, cover 13 acres of an 860 acre land preserve, will serve as a study center for the social, economic, and ecological implications of its architectural framework...

"这个城镇结构融合了一个5英亩的温室，温室从城里沿着台地的南面向下倾斜下来。温室全年提供食物，被动性地满足空间和城镇的热水需求，……一方面也是为了建成一个中央系统，有效收集、传送和使用一个镇或一个市的人口所需要的太阳能。目前正在建设的项目，包括一个住宅综合体，将通过温室效应和烟囱效应的太阳热量进行供热。[我喜欢那种方式。]
"The town structure will be integrated with a 5-acre greenhouse sloping down from the town along the south face of the mesa. The greenhouse will provide food on a year-round basis and passively meet the space and water heating needs of the town, … the intent [partly] being the development of a central system for the efficient collection, transmission and consumption of the solar energy needed to support the population of a town or city.… Projects presently under construction, including a residential complex, will be sun-heated by the greenhouse and chimney effects. [I like that.]

"......生态建筑的自我供给设计将实现：节约能源和资源;保留土地作农业设施使用；消除了城市对汽车的需求，汽车是污染和废气的主要原因;以及高度集成和经济高效的加热、冷却、照明、运输系统和垃圾处理机制。此外，生态建筑在满足个体需求的同时，还能成为文化强化和社会融合的工具。每个居民还能直接和无限制地进入充满活力的城市中心，以及广阔的自然景观。生态建筑提供了一个令人满意的城乡住宅综合环境。……[这听起来有点像我们在奥拉克的地方，只是更大一些。]
" … The self-contained design of the arcology would result in: conservation of energy and resources; preservation of land for agriculture facilities; elimination of the need within the urban landscape for the automobile, a prime cause of pollution and waste; and highly integrated and economically efficient heating, cooling, lighting, delivery systems and waste disposal mechanisms. In addition, the arcology can be an instrument for cultural intensification and social integration while meeting the private needs of the individual. Every resident would have immediate and unlimited access to the lively urban center as well as to a vast natural landscape. The arcology is an environment that offers a satisfying synthesis of city and country dwelling.… [It sounds sort of like our place in Oracle, only bigger.]

"[这个概念是基于几个物理和生物现象(效应):]温室效应使太阳的热量能够聚集在一个限定的空间内。结合园艺效应[一种人类的创造]，它提供了一个自然的农业基地。烟囱效应是一种系统，通过它收集的暖空气可以在上升时被引导。拱点效应是关于一个朝南的四分之一球体结构，因此在寒冷季节充当太阳收集器，在温暖季节充当遮阳罩。这是一台被动的“能量机器”，它的运行完全取决于在不断变化的太阳运动中它自己的状态。吸热效应是指当周围温度高于其自身温度时，物体(石头、混凝土、水等)储存热量的能力，当周围温度低于其自身温度时，它又将热量释放出来的能力。[城市效应是物质之间有意识的相互作用……嗯。]
"[The concept is based on several physical and biological phenomena (effects):] The Greenhouse Effect enables the collection of the sun’s warmth inside a defined space. When combined with the Horticulture Effect [a human creation] this provides a natural agricultural base. The Chimney Effect is the system by which the collected warm air may be channeled as it rises. The Apse Effect deals with a quarter-sphere structure facing south and thus acting as a sun collector in the cold season and as a sunshade in the warm season. It is a passive “energy machine” running solely on how it displays itself to the ever-changing journey of the sun. The Heat Sink Effect is the capacity of mass (stone, concrete, water, etc.) to store heat when the surrounding temperature is higher than its own and to give it back when the surrounding temperature is lower than its own. The Urban Effect is the conscious interaction of matter. - [Hmmn.]

"……由于安装的技术和硬件并不复杂，这个概念可以在地球上那些阳光充足的气候带中得到普遍应用。从沿海地区到山区，至少有三分之二的人类生活在这样一个地带。[这种方式的应用范围可能会更大]。最适宜的地区是那些降雨量少的干旱地区，主要有五个方面的原因:1)晴天的百分比高;2)精心管理水资源的必要性;3)一体化的密集城市系统的需求; 4)以最低用水量产出当地食物供给当地居民的需要，5)干燥气候下蒸发冷却的有效性……[是的……我都觉得能实现。]。
"… Since the technologies and hardware for imple­mentation are unsophisticated, the concept can have universal application throughout those climate belts of the earth endowed with sunshine. At least two-thirds of humankind is living in such a belt, from the coastal areas to the mountain landscapes. [The way things are going it’ll be more.] Optimum areas would be those with low rainfall, the arid zones, for five main reasons: 1) high percentage of sunny days, 2) the necessity of careful water management, 3) the high desirability of contained, dense urban systems, 4) the desirability of foodstuffs produced locally for local consumption at a minimal water use, 5) the effectiveness of evaporative cooling in dry climates. . . . [Yeah…. I can buy all of that.]

"住在建筑工地：索莱里指出阿科桑蒂现在已经不是生态建筑了。他认为，物理结构有助于定义最终发展出来的社区类型。在阿科桑蒂，该建筑正在建造过程中。社区是依赖建设经验发展起来的，随着工作的推进，社区的结构将会改变，以适应新的需求。每个人关心的是生活的过程以及根据需要做出的改变。到目前为止，已有[数千名]不同年龄、种族和背景的学生和专业人士参加了体验式的研习会和研讨会，在阿科桑蒂的建设过程中相互学习。
"LIVING AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE: Soleri points out that Arcosanti is not now an arcology. He believes that the physical structure helps to define the sort of community that will eventually develop. At Arcosanti the structure is in the process of being built. A community has developed around the construction experience and as work continues the structure of the community will change to fit new needs. The process of living and of suggesting changes as needs arise is everyone’s concern.... To date, [thousands of] students and professionals of all ages, races and backgrounds have participated in experiential workshops and seminars, teaching and learning from one another through the building of Arcosanti.

"......作为最终的研究中心和生活大学，阿科桑蒂通过每年举办的许多表演和活动，继续发展成为该地区的文化中心。“[你想过我们也去那里做些我们的业务吗?]
"… As an eventual research center and living university, Arcosanti continues to grow as a cultural center for the region through the many performances and events offered each year.” [Have you thought of us doing our thing there?]

要参观阿科桑蒂，在菲尼克斯北部的科德斯路口从1-17号出口，在停车标志处左转，然后沿着土路继续走2.5英里，到游客中心(你到达的第一个建筑就是了)。
To visit Arcosanti, exit 1-17 north of Phoenix at Cordes Junction, turn left at the stop sign and proceed 2½ miles on the dirt road to the Visitor’s Center (the first building you come to).

基本情况就是这样。下面有一些链接，你可以点击查看有关路线和活动等。我希望我们能在那里停留一下，听一场清单上的音乐会。音乐会可能会远胜于这些建筑。虽然索莱里年事已高，但我还是喜欢那样的效果。
So there you are. And then there’s a bunch of links you can click on to see about tours, events, etc. I want us to stop there again for a concert that’s on the list. The concerts beat the pants off all this architecture lingo. But I do like the way it’s turning out, even if Soleri is getting on in years.
