Doxiadis løber efter bolden.
Den ene stillede et spørgsmål uden omsvøb:Var Doxiadis spion for CIA?
One question was put very bluntly:was Doxiadis a spy for the CIA?Doxiadis sender bolden højt op i luften.
Doxiadis lobs the ball high into the air.Det lokale præg havde en meget begrænset,teknisk betydning for Doxiadis;
Local influence had a very limited,technical meaning for Doxiadis.Doxiadis var absolut ikke nogen finurlig kunstnerisk artitekt med tegneblyanter.
Doxiadis was definitely no whimsical arty architect with crayons.Svaret skal sikkert findes i ekistikkens ekstremt rationelle karakter og den måde, hvorpå Doxiadis omtalte sit arbejde som en videnskab.
The answer probably lies in the highly rational character of Ekistics and the way Doxiadis promoted his work as a science.Doxiadis tegnede Sadr City som en del af sin helhedsplan for Bagdad fra 1958.
Sadr City was designed by Doxiadis as part of his 1958 masterplan for Baghdad.Således er det ikke nogen overdrivelse at kalde Doxiadis' arbejde en del af Vestens kulturelle og økonomiske imperialisme i udviklingslandene.
In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to call Doxiadis' work part of the cultural and economic imperialism of the West in the developing countries.Doxiadis' tegninger følger ekistikkens regler og er temmelig identiske med hans andre samtidige byprojekter som Islamabad, Tema og Khartoum.
Doxiadis's design follows the Ekistics rules and is almost identical to his other contemporary urban designs, be it Islamabad, Tema, or Khartoum.Især i Irak,hvor han blev hyret til at udforme et moderne, nationalt boligbygnings-program, som inkluderede hovedstaden Bagdad, viste Doxiadis, hvad han var i stand til.
Especially in Iraq,where he was hired to design a modern national housing programme including the capital Baghdad, Doxiadis showed what he was capable of.For disse folk var Doxiadis blot en maskot for byplanlægningen, ligesom Jackson Pollock var det på kunstscenen.
To these men, Doxiadis was as much a mascot in the field of urban planning as Jackson Pollock was in art.I en præ-elektronisk tidsalder var det umuligt at komme tættere på en computers værk. Doxiadis var absolut ikke nogen finurlig kunstnerisk artitekt med tegneblyanter.
In this pre-computer era, there was no way to resemble more closely work created by a computer. Doxiadis was definitely no whimsical arty architect with crayons.Det mest tiltalende træk ved Doxiadis' planer var for hans amerikanske velgørere og især Ford Foundation betoningen af det sociale sammenhold.
The most appealing feature of Doxiadis's plans for his American patrons and the Ford Foundation in particular was the emphasis on community building.Uden at vide det har alle set resultatet af hans arbejde på CNN. I slutningen af 50'erne byggede Doxiadis kvarterer i irakiske byer, som nu bærer navne som Mosul, Basra og Kirkuk.
Unknowingly, everybody has seen the results of his work on CNN. By the end of the 1950s, Doxiadis built areas in Iraqi towns which bear the now well-known names of Mosul, Basra, and Kirkuk.Men Doxiadis havde ingen problemer. Hans multifunktionelle hold lavede undersøgelser, skrev rapporter, tegnede tusindvis af huse og formåede også at få dem bygget.
But Doxiadis had no problems: his multidisciplinary team made surveys, wrote reports, designed tens of thousands of houses, and was able to build them too.Hvor Pollock var den socialrealistiske kunsts antitese,udgjorde Doxiadis' arbejde den diametrale modsætning til den socialrealistiske byplanlægning og arkitektur.
Whereas Pollock was the antidote to socialist realist painting,the work of Doxiadis posed the complete opposite to socialist realist urban planning and architecture.Doxiadis var muligvis den førende repræsentant for den eksplicitte brug af modernistisk byplanlægning og formgivning som drivkraft for frihed, fred og fremskridt efter vestligt forbillede.
Doxiadis was possibly the leading exponent of the explicit application of modernist planning and design as vehicles for freedom, peace, and progress according to a Western model.Den officielle arkitekturhistorie har dog udvist uforholdsmæssigt stor interesse for de højprofilerede arkitekters mislykkede projekter og negligeret Doxiadis, som var langt mere indflydelsesrig.
Nevertheless, official architectural history has shown a disproportionate interest in the failed designs I slutningen af 50'erne byggede Doxiadis kvarterer i irakiske byer, som nu bærer navne som Mosul, Basra og Kirkuk.
By the end of the 1950s, Doxiadis built areas in Iraqi towns which bear the now well-known names of Mosul, Basra, and Kirkuk.Af verdens befolkning vil være koncentreret i de stærkt urbaniserede områder af verden,hvilket bringer os tæt på den, som geografen Constantinos Doxiadis fremsatte en teori om i begyndelsen af 1970'erne.
Eighty per cent of the world's population will be concentrated in densely urbanised areas of the planet,bringing us close to the posited by the geographer Constantinos Doxiadis in the early 1970s.Det begyndte med en bevilling til Doxiadis' plantegninger af byen Karachi i Pakistan midt i 50'erne, og Doxiadis og Ford Foundation blev snart nære samarbejdspartnere.
Starting with a grant to Doxiadis's design work for the city of Karachi in Pakistan in the mid-1950s, Doxiadis and the Ford Foundation became a truly close couple.Skønt disse små oaser kunne tolkes som kontekstuelle faktorer, var udvidelsen af Bagdad et generelt,universelt system, som Doxiadis mente var velegnet til næsten enhver voksende by under varme himmelstrøg.
Though these small oases could be interpreted as contextual elements, as a whole, the extension of Baghdad was a generic,universal system Doxiadis thought appropriate for almost any developing city with a hot climate.Doxiadis fik naturligvis ikke lov til at bygge sit rige udelukkende på grund af sin fantastiske karisma eller sine faglige kvaliteter, men først og fremmest på grund af den støtte, han fik fra USA.
Obviously, Doxiadis was able to build this empire not only by virtue of his phenomenal charisma or the qualities of his work, but most of all because of the American support he received.Det lokale præg havde en meget begrænset,teknisk betydning for Doxiadis; det betød at anvende lokale teknikker og byggemetoder, men det indebar ikke, at man tog notits af lokal identitet eller kulturelle traditioner.
Local influence had a very limited,technical meaning for Doxiadis: it meant using local techniques and building methods, but did not involve using local identity or cultural traditions.Forestillingen om grænseløs forandring og vækst, og tanken om, at teknologien kunne løse alle problemer fra demografisk vækst til energikrise, forurening, økonomisk tilbageståenhed og etniske og sociale uroligheder,gjorde Doxiadis' vision til den perfekte drivfjeder for den amerikanske udviklingsideologi.
Ideas of change and growth without boundaries and technology solving every possible problem, from demographic growth to energy shortage, from pollution to economic backwardness to ethnic and social unrest,all made Doxiadis's vision the perfect vehicle of the ideology of US development.Naturligvis beviser Doxiadis' engagement i Kongressen ikke, at han var CIA-agent, men det giver et fingerpeg om, hvad han betød for CIA og Ford Foundation, og det ville kunne forklare deres store forkærlighed for Doxiadis' arbejde.
Of course, Doxiadis's involvement with the Congress does not prove he was a CIA agent, but it does allude to a hypothesis on the meaning of his work for the CIA and the Ford Foundation that would explain their strong preference for Doxiadis's work.Skønt byplanlægning absolut ikke var nogen hovedprioritet,brugte Ford i omegnen af 5 millioner dollars på Doxiadis' tegninger og forskning, den største sum, de nogensinde har skænket til en enkelt privat samarbejdspartner.
Though urban planning was definitely not a main priority,the Ford Foundation spent five million dollars on Doxiadis's design and research, the largest sum it ever spent on one private party.Men Doxiadis havde ingen problemer. Hans multifunktionelle hold lavede undersøgelser, skrev rapporter, tegnede tusindvis af huse og formåede også at få dem bygget. Den officielle arkitekturhistorie har dog udvist uforholdsmæssigt stor interesse for de højprofilerede arkitekters mislykkede projekter og negligeret Doxiadis, som var langt mere indflydelsesrig.
But Doxiadis had no problems: his multidisciplinary team made surveys, wrote reports, designed tens of thousands of houses, and was able to build them too. Nevertheless, official architectural history has shown a disproportionate interest in the failed designs of high profile architects and neglected the far more influential work of Doxiadis.Et markant eksempel på denne antagelse udgøres af den fascinerende koalition mellem to forskellige parter;den græske byplanlægger Constantinos Doxiadis og den amerikanske Ford Foundation, som tilsammen dannede en magtfuld duo af visioner og penge.
A vivid illustration of this hypothesis is provided by the fascinating coalition of two parties,the Greek planner Constantinos Doxiadis and the American Ford Foundation, who together formed a powerful duo of vision and money.I den forstand var de utroligt velegnede til enhver form for udvikling. Doxiadis var muligvis den førende repræsentant for den eksplicitte brug af modernistisk byplanlægning og formgivning som drivkraft for frihed, fred og fremskridt efter vestligt forbillede.
In that sense, they were extremely well suited to development of any kind. Doxiadis was possibly the leading exponent of the explicit application of modernist planning and design as vehicles for freedom, peace, and progress according to a Western model.
