威尔士亲王曾在一篇文章中呼吁城市规划专家“重新延续传统的设计手法”，表明了他对于未来建筑和规划的见解。      “我已经记不清有多少次被指责想要回到黄金时代，但是在我看来没有什么比未来更加重要。“这是查尔斯王子发表在最近一期《建筑评论》的2000字文章的开头。      查尔斯王子紧接着为城市整体规划列出10个“重要的几何原则”，其目的是“为了让新旧城市规划方式的精华相互融合在一起”，并且能够提供一个“根据人体尺度和以自然为中心”的空间设计模版。 the Prince of Wales has called for urbanists to "reconnect with traditional approaches" in an essay that lays out his vision for the future of architecture and planning. "I have lost count of the times I have been accused of wanting to turn the clock back to some Golden Age. Nothing could be further from my mind. My concern is the future," begins Prince Charles' 2,000-word essay in the latest issue of The Architectural Review. The prince goes on to set out 10 "important geometric principles" for urban masterplanning that he says aim "to mix the best of the old with the best of the new" and provide a template for designing places "according to the human scale and with nature at the heart of the process".

英国皇室认为:“对于城市规划，是时候用更成熟的眼光看待，并且延续传统方式和技术。”      “这并不是否认现代技术带来的优势和便捷，”他继续写道。      相关故事：查尔斯王子反对拆旧建新，反而试图通过建筑搭建相互联系的桥梁。      我认为如果整个城市只有新兴建筑显然是不够的。我们必须考虑到我们所修建的那些公建对城市所产生的长期影响，希望它们的设计能够唤回我们对人性的思考和与自然的联系。然而由于近些年的城市设计更多地从人类自身角度出发，而缺乏综合考虑，导致建筑中蕴含的人性和与自然和谐共处的理念正面临消失的威胁。      “为了克服这个问题，我认为我们需要重新去认识和学习长久以来孕育的传统设计方式，因为这些方式根植于人类与自然模式和演化进程之间的联系。在今后的日子里，我们将会面临很多严峻的挑战，我们期待那些传统的设计方式可以重新回到现代设计的前沿。” "It is time to take a more mature view" and "reconnect with traditional approaches and techniques", says the British royal. "This approach does not deny the benefits and convenience that our modern technology brings," he writes.

We have to be mindful of the long-term consequences of what we construct in the public realm and, in its design, reclaim our humanity and our connection with nature, both of which, because of the corporate rather than human way in which our urban spaces have been designed, have come under increasing threat." "To counter this, I believe we have to revisit the learning that for so long has been embedded in traditional approaches to design, simply because they are so rooted in our own connection with nature's patterns and processes.  As we face so many critical challenges in the years ahead, these approaches are crying out to be brought back to the forefront of contemporary practice."

查尔斯王子，作为英国皇室的代表，曾在公开发表他的建筑观点之后就发现自己站在了建筑业大多数人的对立面。      1984年，在英国皇家建筑协会150周年庆的一次非公开演讲中，王子对当代建筑发表了史无前例的指责。      由英国Ahrends, Burton and Koralek事务所提议的伦敦国家艺术馆扩建方案首当其冲。查尔斯王子评论说：“这个方案就像是给一位优雅、受人欢迎的朋友脸上装饰一颗怪异的红宝石。”      他的评论引起了建筑师们的愤怒并导致了该提案的夭折，最终伦敦国家艺术馆扩建项目由Robert Venturi 和 Denise Scott Brown代替完成。这件事情并未影响查尔斯王子进一步提出自己对于建筑和规划的看法，导致他获得了“干预”王子的称号，而在2011年的演讲上他也大方地承认了这一点。      他不仅在多塞特郡修建了古典风格的庞德伯里镇，进行传统而环保的居住模式的实验，创办了一个短暂的建筑杂志，他还在东伦敦资助了一个艺术学院，致力于研究传统建筑风格和技术。同时，他还为建筑环境慈善机构建立了一个王子基金会，用以促进和保护那些传统建筑和规划——这些活动如今由王子基金会负责执行。      但是在2009年的6月，一场关于资金超过30亿欧元的切尔西军营重建项目的斗争中曝出查尔斯王子以其自身的影响干预卡塔尔皇室房地产公司，破坏了Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners 事务所的重建计划。      “我们曾希望查尔斯王子能够站在他的立场上支持现代建筑，但他一意孤行的破坏了这次项目“Richard Rogers告诉卫报记者。      查尔斯王子在他的新文章中强调他关注的是地球可持续发展的未来，而不是建筑风格。      “到2050年，我们将面临地球上新诞生的30亿人的住房问题，建筑师和规划师将在这场挑战面前发挥重要的作用。”王子写道。      “我们必须尽快找到如何建立一个可持续的、符合人类尺度并且有弹性的城市的方法，这种城市能够有效地利用城市土地，低碳环保，不依赖汽车。然而，为了提高人们的生活品质，加强社区建设，我们必须重新正视将那些在20世纪被我们认作过时无用的，但却延续千年的传统方式和技术。我想现在是时候用更成熟的眼光去看待它们。”      这篇文章将被发表在1月份的《建筑评论》及其网站上。 查尔斯王子提出的关于总体规划的十项原则 1. 开发必须尊重土地。建筑不应该有侵略性，而是应该很和谐的融入环境中。 2. 建筑是一种语言。我们必须遵循一定的语法规律，否则混乱与不和谐将会比比皆是。这也是建筑规范产生的价值。 3. 尺度很关键。建筑不仅仅是与人类比例相联系，同样需要与周边其他建筑和环境元素的尺度相一致。很多城镇都被随意放置的，没有意义又千篇一律的大体量建筑破坏。 4. 和谐——每一个部分都和谐共处。每栋建筑都应该与周边的建筑相协调，这并不意味着完全统一。丰富源于多样性，就好比自然的演化，但这其中肯定会有一些联系，这些联系常常在门的样式、阳台、檐口和扶手等这种细节中展示出来。 5. 建筑围墙要精心设计。比起那些由独立的房子凌乱地聚集在一起的空间，由建筑整齐围合封闭的空间不仅更能够产生视觉上的满足，还能鼓励步行，更能让人产生安全感。 6. 材料也很重要。在英国，像其他地方一样，我们依赖平淡的、标准化的建筑材料。太多太多的混凝土、塑料外挂板、铝、玻璃以及钢材，使得一个城市缺乏独特的性格。为了让建筑看起来有归属感，我们需要运用当地的建筑材料和传统的建筑风格。 7. 标识牌、灯光、基础设施等这些东西很容易被滥用。我们应该尽可能的将那些管线掩埋起来，并限制标识牌的使用。我们可以像庞德伯里镇一样通过使用一些路的弯曲、广场以及每隔60-80米设置植树带，使司机自然减速，从而减少路牌的使用。 8. 人行道必须成为设计的中心。街道要从汽车中解放出来。 9. 密度。空间非常珍贵，但是我们没有必要全部凭借孤立而疏远的高层建筑来解决问题。我相信通过阳台与宅邸街区增进邻里交流会有更多公共优势。你们看到充满魅力的伦敦肯辛顿与切尔西就能明白我的意思了。很容易让人遗忘的是，这些地区也是伦敦的高密度地区。 10. 灵活性。僵化、传统的规划和规则的道路系统会导致以上几个原则无效，但我已经发现了使道路系统变得更加灵活的可能性，而且我也很高兴的说，在过去20年中我们不断尝试的那些创新方式如今在国家工程中发挥了指导作用，例如街道导览。 Charles, who is first in line for the British throne, has previously found himself at loggerheads with large swathesof the architecture industry after sharing his opinions on architecture in public. During a now infamous speech marking the 150th anniversary of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1984, the prince launched an unprecedented attack on contemporary architects. A proposal for the extension of London's National Gallery by British firm Ahrends, Burton and Koralek bore the brunt of his criticism. "What is proposed is like a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much-loved and elegant friend," said Charles. His comments caused outrage among architects and resulted in the scrapping of the scheme, which was eventually replaced with a building by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown.。The fall out did not prevent him from involving himself further in architecture and planning, contributing to his reputation as a "meddling" prince, which he acknowledged in a speech in 2011. As well as building his Poundbury model town in Dorset, populated with Classical-style buildings, and launching a short-lived architecture magazine, he has founded an art school dedicated to traditional styles and techniques in east London. He also created the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment charity to promote traditional architecture and planning – these activities are now carried out by the Prince's Foundation for Building Communities. At a dinner to make the 175th anniversary of the RIBA in May 2009, Charles said he had not intended to "kick-start some kind of 'style war' between Classicists and Modernists". But a battle over the ￡3 billion Chelsea Barracks development revealed that he had used his influence with the Qatari royal family's property company, scuppering a scheme by Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners in June 2009. "We had hoped that Prince Charles had retreated from his position on modern architecture, but he single-handedly destroyed this project,"Richard Rogers told the Guardian. With this latest essay, Charles says he is focusing on creating a sustainable future for the planet, and not architectural style. "We face the terrifying prospect by 2050 of another three billion people on this planet needing to be housed, and architects and urban designers have an enormous role to play in responding to this challenge," he writes. We have to work out now how we will create resilient, truly sustainable and human-scale urban environments that are land-efficient, use low-carbon materials and do not depend so completely upon the car.。However, for these places to enhance the quality of people’s lives and strengthen the bonds of community, we have to reconnect with those traditional approaches and techniques honed over thousands of years which, only in the 20th century, were seen as 'old-fashioned' and of no use in a progressive modern age. It is time to take a more mature view." The full essay will be published in the January edition of the Architectural Review and on the magazine's website. Prince Charles' 10 principles for master planning Developments must respect the land. They should not be intrusive; they should be designed to fit within the landscape they occupy. Architecture is a language. We have to abide by the grammatical ground rules, otherwise dissonance and confusion abound. This is why a building code can be so valuable. Scale is also key.Not only should buildings relate to human proportions, they should correspond to the scale of the other buildings and elements around them. Too many of our towns have been spoiled by casually placed, oversized buildings of little distinction that carry no civic meaning. Harmony – the playing together of all parts.The look of each building should be in tune with its neighbours, which does not mean creating uniformity. Richness comes from diversity, as Nature demonstrates, but there must be coherence, which is often achieved by attention to details like the style of door cases, balconies, cornices and railings. The creation of well-designed enclosures. Rather than clusters of separate houses set at jagged angles, spaces that are bounded and enclosed by buildings are not only more visually satisfying, they encourage walking and feel safer. Materials also matter. In the UK, as elsewhere, we have become dependent upon bland, standardised building materials. There is much too much concrete, plastic cladding, aluminium, glass and steel employed, which lends a place no distinctive character. For buildings to look as if they belong, we need to draw on local building materials and regional traditional styles. Signs, lights and utilities. They can be easily overused. We should also bury as many wires as possible and limit signage. A lesson learned from Poundbury is that it is possible to rid the street of nearly all road signs by using ‘events’ like a bend, square or tree every 60-80 metres, which cause drivers to slow down naturally. The pedestrian must be at the centre of the design process. Streets must be reclaimed from the car. Density. Space is at a premium, but we do not have to resort to high-rise tower blocks which alienate and isolate. I believe there are far more communal benefits from terraces and the mansion block. You only have to consider the charm and beauty of a place like Kensington and Chelsea in London to see what I mean. It is often forgotten that this borough is the most densely populated one in London. Flexibility. Rigid, conventional planning and rules of road engineering render all the above instantly null and void, but I have found it is possible to build flexibility into schemes and I am pleased to say that many of the innovations we have tried out in the past 20 years are now reflected in national engineering guidance, such as The Manual For Streets.
