From Car Factory to Urban Building Block 底特律汽车工厂变城市建筑群 Competition gives designers around the world the chance to“reanimate” one of Detroit’s most famous ruins. 设计比赛让世界各地的设计师们有机会重塑底特律最著名的破旧建筑之一。 October 7, 2014—The first part of Detroit’s Packard Plant, a multiple-building complex designed by Albert Kahn in 1903, opened its doors in 1903, but the facility continued to be expanded until 1915. The behemoth featured the world’s first use of a reinforced-concrete structural system for the automotive industry and led to what was known as the Kahn system of reinforcement. Developed and patented by Khan’s brother Julius Khan, the system used steel rebar that was bent and frayed at the ends to increase its interaction with concrete and improve shear, and was used internationally in the design of the first skyscrapers. 2014年10月7日——底特律帕卡德（Detroit’s Packard Plant）汽车厂第一部分,是一幢阿尔伯特?卡恩（Albert Kahn）于1903年设计并于当年建成使用的多功能综合楼,此后该大楼继续扩建,一直到1915年。此庞然大物是世界汽车工业中第一个使用钢筋混泥土结构系统的建筑，后来形成了所谓的卡恩加固系统（the Kahn system of reinforcement）。此系统由卡恩的兄弟朱利叶斯.卡恩（Julius Khan）,开发并申请专利，使用弯曲并且端部磨损的钢筋增加其与混凝土的相互作用从而提高抗剪能力,该系统被用于设计国际上第一座摩天大楼。 The Packard Plant presaged modern manufacturing facility engineering. For close to 50 years the enormous facility, more than half a mile long, churned out luxury Packard automobiles. When the last Packard rolled off the line in 1954, the factory, much like the city, began a long and slow decline. Today the facility is a hulking symbol of both Detroit’s long deterioration and its underlying resiliency. 帕卡德（Detroit’s Packard Plant）汽车厂预示了现代制造业建筑设施工程发展的方向。近50年里，这超过半英里长的庞大建筑设施里, 生产了豪华帕卡德汽车。当帕卡德（Detroit’s Packard Plant）汽车厂在1954年关闭最后一条生产线时,它就像这个城市一样,开始了漫长而缓慢的衰落。今天它就是底特律长期衰退和具有潜在的复苏弹性的庞大象征。 “Even though the plant has suffered blight, fire, abandonment, and copper scrapping, the over-built shells of the structure continue to stand,” says architectural historian Kari Smith, LEED-AP, a project manager for the Packard’s current owner, Lima, Peru-based Arte Express. “尽管该工厂遭受过破坏,大火,被荒废过以及被
