商品描述
Pennsylvania State Senator Nikil Saval tells the story of an unlikely partnership between June Jordan and R. Buckminster Fuller, and their attempt to reimagine Harlem in the wake of the 1964 riots. In the tense days leading up to the 2020 American elections, then-candidate for Pennsylvania State Senate Nikil Saval addressed a virtual audience at the Harvard GSD to tell a story about Black feminist writer June Jordan and a little-known project that resulted from the aftermath of the 1964 Harlem riot. The events of police brutality and community grieving made a lasting impression on Jordan, who, while known for her work as a poet, playwright, and activist, responded with a proposal for a multiple-tower housing design. Through an unlikely partnership with R. Buckminster Fuller, Jordan's "Skyrise for Harlem" project offered a Futuristic vision for Harlem that argued for environmental redesign: "it is architecture, conceived of in its fullest meaning as the creation of environment, which may actually determine the pace, pattern, and quality of living experience."
Jordan was not an architect in the conventional sense, Saval says. "But in the understanding of someone who sought to propose and build interventions in public space, she was."
商品描述(中文翻譯)
賓夕法尼亞州參議員Nikil Saval講述了一個不太可能的合作故事，故事中的主角是June Jordan和R. Buckminster Fuller，他們試圖在1964年騷亂之後重新想像哈林區。
在2020年美國選舉前緊張的日子裡，時任賓夕法尼亞州參議院候選人的Nikil Saval在哈佛大學設計學院的虛擬觀眾面前講述了一個關於黑人女性主義作家June Jordan的故事，以及一個鮮為人知的計劃，該計劃是在1964年哈林騷亂之後產生的。警察暴行和社區哀悼的事件對Jordan產生了深遠的影響，她以詩人、劇作家和活動家的身份提出了一個多塔住宅設計的提案。通過與R. Buckminster Fuller的不太可能的合作，Jordan的“哈林區天際線”項目提供了一個未來主義的哈林區願景，主張環境重新設計：“這是建築，以其最完整的意義來看，是創造環境的過程，它實際上可能決定生活體驗的節奏、模式和質量。”
Saval表示，Jordan在傳統意義上並不是一位建築師。“但在那些尋求在公共空間提出和建立干預措施的人的理解中，她是。”
