活動簡介
The megastructure of Cumbernauld Town Centre is one of Scotland’s most infamous pieces of architecture. Revered and reviled in equal measure, it represents a period of optimism in the future as part of Post-War New Town planning. The ambitious design commissioned by the Cumbernauld New Town Development Corporation and led by Leslie Hugh Wilson and Geoffrey Copcutt was never fully completed but the built phases included the core civic facilities for the community in a car free, internal world protected from the weather. Copcutt, a former winner of the GIA’s Alexander Thomson Travelling Scholarship, was hailed as ‘Grandiose Magnifico’ by Luigi Nervi on completion of Phase 1, while the Town Centre itself received the Reynolds Memorial Award for community architecture, highlighting its international significance. At the 1964 RIBA Conference in Glasgow the Town Centre was described as the finest example of new townscape and architecture for the community in Britain.
Inspired by Italian hilltop towns, Cumbernauld Town Centre was to be the focus of the new community, occupying its most central, hilltop location, surrounded by the town’s residential neighbourhoods. Within each neighbourhood, amenities were kept to a minimum with provision only for corner shops and meeting rooms to ensure residents depended on the Town Centre for all of their needs.
The key for ensuring this reliance was both compactness of the overall town plan (ensuring no resident had to walk for more than 3/4 hour from their dwellings) but also provision of all of the amenities which their neighbourhood lacked. Contained within the Town Centre were three tiers of underground parking, a supermarket, marketplace, shops, nursery, church, hotel, cinema, nightclub, library and restaurant (to name but a few), as well as town centre housing including rows of penthouses as the crowning structure.
Almost 60 years after attracting international attention when published in a seminal issue of Architectural Design, and despite its DOCOMOMO status, the megastructure now faces demolition.
坎伯諾爾德市中心的巨型建築是蘇格蘭最臭名昭著的建築之一。 作為戰後新城規劃的一部分，它代表了未來一段樂觀的時期，受到同樣的尊敬和謾罵。 這項雄心勃勃的設計由坎伯諾爾德新城開發公司委託，由萊斯利 休 威爾遜和杰弗裡 科普卡特領導，但從未完全完成，但建成階段包括為社區提供核心市政設施，打造一個無車、不受天氣影響的內部世界。 Copcutt 是 GIA 亞歷山大 湯姆森旅行獎學金的前獲得者，在第一階段完成後被 Luigi Nervi 譽為“Grandiose Magnifico”，而城鎮中心本身也獲得了社區建築雷諾紀念獎，突顯了其國際意義。 1964 年在格拉斯哥舉行的 RIBA 會議上，市中心被描述為英國社區新城鎮景觀和建築的最佳典範。

受意大利山頂城鎮的啟發，坎伯諾爾德鎮中心將成為新社區的焦點，佔據其最中心的山頂位置，周圍環繞著城鎮的住宅區。 在每個街區內，設施都保持在最低限度，僅提供街角商店和會議室，以確保居民依靠市中心滿足他們的所有需求。

確保這種依賴的關鍵是整個城鎮規劃的緊湊性（確保沒有居民從住所步行超過 3/4 小時），而且還提供其社區缺乏的所有便利設施。 市中心內有三層地下停車場、超市、市場、商店、托兒所、教堂、酒店、電影院、夜總會、圖書館和餐廳（僅舉幾例），以及包括成排頂層公寓在內的市中心住房 作為加冕結構。

近 60 年前，這座巨型建築在影響深遠的《建築設計》雜誌上發表，引起了國際關注，儘管其具有 DOCOMOMO 地位，但現在仍面臨拆除。

活動主題
We can debate the value of the architectural vision but the embodied carbon in the reinforced concrete of its structure is undeniable. We can’t continue to rub out failing structures without a care for the environmental impact. How, then, can we repair, adapt and re-imagine this megastructure to write a new chapter in its development? Can we find a way to fully realise the vision of an innovative civic realm for Cumbernauld that meets the needs of the community, preserves its visionary optimism and provides a new model for dealing with our modernist legacy in a sustainable manner?
我們可以爭論建築願景的價值，但其結構的鋼筋混凝土中所含的碳是不可否認的。 我們不能繼續消除失敗的結構而不關心環境影響。 那麼，我們該如何修復、改造和重新構想這個巨型建築，以譜寫其發展的新篇章呢？ 我們能否找到一種方法來充分實現坎伯諾爾德創新公民領域的願景，滿足社區的需求，保留其富有遠見的樂觀精神，並提供一種以可持續方式處理我們現代主義遺產的新模式？
