第一期：

　　A new Center for Architecture opened in New York, showing publicly-funded urban design projects and starting several days of activities of architecture.

　　Walking around the new 1,100-square-meter Center for Architecture is a bit like taking a guided tour of New York City. Pictures on the walls show the outside of the Firefighter Training Academy, a futuristic room inside the United Nations, a proposed park for downtown Brooklyn. All are city projects, all are publicly funded, and some are surprisingly innovative in their design.

　　The exhibit, called Going Public, focuses mainly on city planning projects.

　　Amanda Burden, head of the New York City Planning Commission, says the exhibit makes the relationship between planners and architects closer.

　　For as long as I can remember, there has been an impenetrable (无法穿越的)wall between planners and architects, she explained. And we planners have said again and again and again, Take down that wall! Today, that wall is down.
