【聊了什么】
如果你刚刚开始关注大选,你的精神健康应该比美轮美换的几位主播要好一些。在大选前夕,美轮美换的几位主播做客纽约文化沙龙,帮你梳理了这场大选的关键时间点和重要议题:从拜登的意外退选到哈里斯的临危受命,从经济表现的党派差异到移民政策的困境,每个议题都折射出美国社会的深层分裂。
在摇摆州选情胶着、社会撕裂加剧的背景下,这场选举是否会重新定义美国政治?经济数据与民众感受之间的巨大鸿沟该如何弥合?移民政策的两难困境能否找到平衡点?当两党政治生态日益分化,社会撕裂愈发明显,美国的民主制度将面临怎样的挑战?
For those who are just tuning into the 2024 election discourse, your mental health is probably much better than the hosts of American Roulette – who have been breathlessly tracking every development for the past year. As the election day approaches, our guests from American Roulette have distilled all of the pivotal moments and critical issues that have defined this madhouse of a cycle - from Biden’s unexpected withdrawal to Kamala’s ascension, from partisan narratives on the state of the economy and immigration. Each flashpoint illuminates the deepening chasm of American society.
As the battleground state odds remain locked in a coin toss, we try to ponder the fundamental questions: will this election yet again reshape American politics? How to bridge the chasm between the escalating social divisions? Why do the economic indicators tell different stories to the two parties? And as the two-party ecosystem grows increasingly polarized and social fabric continues to fray, what trials await America's democratic institutions?

【聊了什么】
纽约市的房价一直以来都是人们关注的焦点。随着时间的推移,房价的上涨不仅是一个经济现象,更是一个复杂而深刻的社会现象。作为全球金融中心和文化枢纽,纽约市吸引了大量的人口涌入和商业活动,导致了房屋需求的持续增加。但除此之外,纽约政府独特的规划政策和土地开发“游戏规则”也对房价形成了深刻的影响,往往以意想不到的方式影响市场供需关系。
政府是如何与开发商周旋的?为何纽约会有高楼大厦与老房子共存的城市面貌?保障房在纽约是如何开发的?政府对于开发项目有哪些限制和补贴? 高房价对社会结构和文化氛围的影响是怎样的?

New York City's housing prices have long been a focal point of public attention. Over time, the rise in housing prices has become not just an economic phenomenon, but a complex and profound social issue involving multiple factors. As a global financial center and cultural hub, New York City has attracted a large influx of people and business activities, leading to a continuous increase in housing demand. Beyond the macroeconomics, New York's unique planning policies and land development rules have also had a profound impact on housing prices. At the same time, rising housing prices have led to changes in the city's social structure, challenging local residents with rising housing costs and deteriorating living conditions, sparking widespread discussions about social equity and economic development?

欢迎来到我们的特别企划:如果宇宙计划!
【聊了什么】
这场对话来自于纽约文化沙龙和沙丘研究所组织的一场线下对谈。要让“全世界的人都住进同一栋大楼”这种科幻式的想象成为一种合理的设定,会涉及很多学科的参与和讨论。年初我们邀请了二十几位来自各行各业的朋友就这个设定展开线下的想象和讨论。
基于线下讨论的蓝本,我们邀请了几位嘉宾进行了更加深度的对话,而这是对话的第一部分:从建筑学、工程学的角度考虑,这栋大楼应当被设计成什么样子呢?
In a fictional setting of a climate crisis, humanity is forced to move into a single building for survival. This bold premise sparked an interdisciplinary speculation exercise: How can we optimize resource allocation and spatial comfort while ensuring the basic survival needs of 8 billion people? Do we build a babel tower, or as the kids would say, “to the moon”? Do we want circular structure or even a giant greenhouse covering half of the United States?
To make the scifi premise plausible, an interdisciplinary approach was required. Earlier this year we invited twenty friends with diverse backgrounds to an in-person New York Cultural Salon round table for a speculative exercise. Based on the outline from the offline discussion, this is a deeper dive on the first and the foundational problem: From the perspectives of architecture and engineering, how would we even build this?
