Terreform Urban Research

Terreform Urban Research Urban Research (UR), the imprint of Terreform, publishes progressive books about cities and their futures. Terreform is a non-profit 501(c)(3), urban research studio and advocacy group.

Founded in 2005 by Michael Sorkin, its mission is to investigate the forms, policies, technologies, and practices that will yield equitable, sustainable, and beautiful cities for our urbanizing planet. UR (Urban Research), the imprint of Terreform, is a book series devoted to speculation about the condition of the future city. Understanding that no single approach is adequate to the promise and problems of the urban, we publish a wide range of designs and analyses.

Posted @withregram • @torinostratosferica 💡 Segregazione spaziale e discriminazioni, città autosufficiente, giustizia sociale: i temi di cui si occupa il centro di ricerca urbana newyorkese fondato dall'architetto visionario Michael Sorkin preannunciano un talk di interesse per tutti gli urbaniti, a Utopian Hours 2021.

🗣 A parlarci di Terreform sarà Deen Sharp, co-direttore dello studio.
Con Terreform, Sorkin ha voluto esplorare la città come massima espressione dell’architettura. Un luogo capace di modellare la vita, il comportamento e il pensiero delle persone. Un esperimento di ingegneria sociale attraverso cui disegnare il significato ultimo dell’architettura, nel rapporto fra società e ambiente.

Per il 2021, Torino Stratosferica dedica il visual di Utopian Hours proprio a Michael Sorkin. Il progetto di una città ideale a Spa Tokaj, in Ungheria, rielaborato attingendo dallo stile illustrativo che è possibile ritrovare negli schizzi e nei bozzetti più celebri di Sorkin. La città, circoscritta ma con un fulcro centrale da cui si diramano gli elementi urbani, si accosta idealmente al tema della quinta edizione del festival — The 1000-minute city.

Reading Design

Charles Jencks, who died this week, was one of the most influential voices in Post War architecture. More than anything he lobbied for pluralism, for a tolerant and rich approach which embraced the more eccentric sub-cultures of architecture along with the best of the mainstream and the purely popular.

In this short text, written for the Venice Biennale of 1980 (titled The Presence of the Past), he pleads for a culture of heterogeneity in architecture. Jencks was a supporter and avid reader of Reading Design. He will be hugely missed.

BIG PLANS
Made for China

The design of cities in their all-at-once has become anathema, deplored as “utopian” (a concept itself, sadly, in bad odor), masculinist, authoritarian, etc., etc.

We disagree and think this discourse is vital, not only imaginatively but on the ground: every city has a point of departure, a set of governing ideas that limn the terms — however constricting or loose — for its development and maturation.

In light of explosive growth — by mid-century 70% of the world’s population will be urban — and of accelerating environmental disaster, it is only rational that new cities be a major part of the solution.

The attraction of China....

Manhattan Transfer
Manhattan Transfer

Last year, Terreform was approached by a representative of Manhattan CB2 for its opinion about a proposed development at 550 Washington Street and the facilitating transfer of 200,000 square feet of air rights from Pier 40, a critical community asset. While we are generally supportive of adaptive re-use or rebuilding on the St. John’s site—and had earlier suggested it as a potential location for the expansion of NYU — we found this proposal both over-large and too narrowly planned to fully leverage the opportunities presented by the site and to fulfill the obligations of such a massive undertaking to a neighborhood in the course of dramatic transition. Our study believed it deficient in a number of areas, and our research considered alternative scenarios. The full report can be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/TerreformManhattanTransfer This year, we have a few updates to report. https://archpaper.com/2017/08/solve-nycs-awkward-developer-feud/#gallery-0-slide-0 via The Architect's Newspaper

Posted @withregram • @torinostratosferica 💡 Segregazione spaziale e discriminazioni, città autosufficiente, giustizia sociale: i temi di cui si occupa il centro di ricerca urbana newyorkese fondato dall'architetto visionario Michael Sorkin preannunciano un talk di interesse per tutti gli urbaniti, a Utopian Hours 2021. 🗣 A parlarci di Terreform sarà Deen Sharp, co-direttore dello studio. Con Terreform, Sorkin ha voluto esplorare la città come massima espressione dell’architettura. Un luogo capace di modellare la vita, il comportamento e il pensiero delle persone. Un esperimento di ingegneria sociale attraverso cui disegnare il significato ultimo dell’architettura, nel rapporto fra società e ambiente. Per il 2021, Torino Stratosferica dedica il visual di Utopian Hours proprio a Michael Sorkin. Il progetto di una città ideale a Spa Tokaj, in Ungheria, rielaborato attingendo dallo stile illustrativo che è possibile ritrovare negli schizzi e nei bozzetti più celebri di Sorkin. La città, circoscritta ma con un fulcro centrale da cui si diramano gli elementi urbani, si accosta idealmente al tema della quinta edizione del festival — The 1000-minute city. 🔗 𝘝𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘢 𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴.𝘪𝘵 𝘰 𝘪𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘪𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘰.

“The 1000-minute city (the city is everywhere)” is the theme of the fifth edition of #UtopianHours, the festival of “making cities”: the ideas, projects and places that are bettering life in cities around the world. The @torinostratosferica festival will take place from Oct. 8-10 in Torino, Italy. The festival celebrates the thinking of visionary architect, Michael Sorkin, who recently passed away. On Saturday, October 9, @deensharp of Terreform Center for Advanced Urban Research will tell us from New York about the cultural legacy left by its founder. For more info See link In Bio

We are devastated to announce the passing of Terreform’s president, architect, urbanist, educator, writer, and friend, Michael Sorkin. Michael was an insightful and visionary architecture critic and activist. We will miss you dearly. Rest in Power, Michael. #MichaelSorkin
