欢迎来到我们的特别企划：如果宇宙计划！
【聊了什么】 在一个气候危机的虚构背景下，人类被迫全部搬进一栋大楼生活。这个大胆的设定引发了一场跨学科的头脑风暴：如何在保证80亿人口基本生存需求的同时，最大程度上实现资源优化配置和空间舒适性？一根通天塔？层层叠叠的环形楼？铺满半个美国的巨型温室？
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?

【我们是谁 The Who】 选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。

选修课 Universus is a Chinese-language podcast created by the same people who founded the New York Chinese Cultural Salon (纽约文化沙龙）in 2013. The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions.
Hosted by:
- Lao Zhao: PhD in Theoretical Physics, software engineer, and organizer of the New York Cultural Salon.
- Li Yalun: Designer, Founder and main creator of Dunes Institute
- Chen Feiyue: Urban researcher, Writer, Designer, Founder and main creator of Dunes Institute Guests:
- Huang Heqing: PhD in Applied Physics, researcher, host of 闲话物理 podcast
- Cheng Ci: Amateur food industry worker, professionally online
