Abstract

Be it the 1873 World’s Fair in Vienna, which established the city's status as a link between the Occident and Orient, or the very first Great Exhibition in 1851 in London, which showcased the then British empire to a global public and the world to its domestic visitors. World’s fairs have been and are still an indispensable part of a shared human history as well as an indicator of a country's economic and cultural relevance on a global scale. They are undoubtedly politically motivated drivers of collective memories and, in turn, nation-building processes. This is why they are not only publicly discussed and thoroughly documented in archives but also often manifested in buildings that long outlast these events and themes but continue to tell their tales. This article elaborates on the ways in which world’s fairs (or expos) have been used as catalysts to develop cities and how they themselves – though ephemeral phenomena – ultimately found their way into urban landscapes and historiography. Moreover, based on his own empirical studies on the last two expos of Shanghai (2010) and Milan (2015), the author elaborates on the placemaking procedures that precede and follow these mega-events, reflecting on the ensuing public discourse to (de)legitimate them, its limitations, and effects on the urban legacy of the aforementioned expos. He then presents an overarching discussion on their built heritage.

创造历史,创造场所--2010 年和 2015 年世博会建筑遗产的语境化
无论是 1873 年在维也纳举办的世界博览会,它确立了维也纳作为连接西方和东方的纽带的地位,还是 1851 年在伦敦举办的首届世界博览会,它向全球公众展示了当时的大英帝国,也向其国内参观者展示了世界。世界博览会过去是、现在仍然是人类共同历史中不可或缺的一部分,也是一个国家在全球范围内经济和文化相关性的指标。毫无疑问,世博会在政治上推动了集体记忆,进而推动了国家建设进程。这就是为什么它们不仅被公开讨论并被完整地记录在档案中,而且还经常体现在建筑物中,这些建筑物的历史和主题早已超过了这些事件和主题的历史,但仍在继续讲述着它们的故事。本文阐述了世界博览会(或世博会)如何被用作城市发展的催化剂,以及它们本身--虽然是短暂的现象--如何最终进入城市景观和历史学。此外,作者根据自己对上海(2010 年)和米兰(2015 年)最近两届世博会的实证研究,阐述了这些大型活动前后的场所营造程序,反思了随后为(去)合法化这些活动而展开的公共讨论、其局限性以及对上述世博会城市遗产的影响。然后,他对这些世博会的建筑遗产进行了全面的讨论。
