A Retroactive Manifesto for Manhattan

The urban formation of Manhattan
This book is a humorous account of New York City's vertical architectural history, vivid and with a unique narrative of Hollywood in the United States, a narrative of the history of New York, especially the Manhattan block.This book provides a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the historu of the formation and construction of all blocks in Manhattan. The world-renowned British AA School of Architecture graduated from Koolhaas, founded the Metropolitan Architecture Office, and read talents. The book of the people is also a kind of study. The AA School of Architecture has produced a lot of different architects, Zaha Hadid, when to incorporate the architectural style and aesthetics of the East into the system of the college, I believe that some time in the future, Some of our schoolmates and sisters will create a precedent. In fact, looking back at Malaysia, there is no shortage of excellent buildings, but few of them are preached and judged by the Kuhas.
The urban formation process in Manhattan, for the entire history of modern architecture, has a special significance that Manhattan is not formed like a traditional city. The construction of modern cities has its practical considerations, such as image aesthetics. People often think that the image is the most important, and the function of the city is considered extensively. This is the case with Manhattan.In my opinion, Manhattan is not an example we follow, but a similar analogy. If an economic activity has a specific impact on the city, urban construction also needs to consider more practical factors without having to make too many fakes. When discussing urban construction, it is not a correct choice to put culture above the economy or to separate them. From the point of view of this book, in the face of Manhattan's urban development experience, Malaysia's urban construction needs some reflection. It can be said that there are things in American cities that we all have.For many years, many aspects of urban architecture in Malaysia have been aligned with the United States. On the surface, there are many similarities between important cities. In fact, similarities are only basic elements, and their structures are different. The economic strength and density of big countries are very large, and it is necessary to spread a huge network, not as self-sufficient as a small country. The city is like a machine, and their physical principles are similar, but different machines have different structures and play different functions.Therefore, I believe that the experience of Manhattan will not be too direct for the reference value of urban construction in Malaysia. It is like the same dictionary and must be used at a specific angle to be instructive. However, what is certain is that “vigor” is the most important element of a city, and the city's vitality once reached its peak. It can absorb the most talented people from all over the world, and the “human feeling” behind it is its greatest achievement. This is still a considerable development distance for Malaysian cities.
