摘要

In presenting the career of American architect and town planner, Albert Mayer, this dissertation brings to light a previously unstudied phase of New York City apartment house building and its relationship to the idea of community design. From his early years in the family real estate business, the J. H. Taylor Company, Mayer studied and implemented the concept of "neighborhood unit." Mayer's activities in commercial real estate and architectural practice before the Second World War consisted of collaborations with other prominent architects, whose work was shaped according to Mayer's recommendations in terms of optimal air and light, generous courtyards, communal facilities for the residents' recreational needs, and commercial spaces.; Striving to create conditions of humane living within the city rather than to increase his profits, Mayer dedicated large part of his career as an architect and writer improving public housing and strengthening the position of the urban poor. Along with Lewis Mumford, Clarence Stein, and Henry Wright, Mayer founded the Housing Study Guild, whose mission was to improve housing by educating professionals and the public. Mayer's experience in commercial building and his theoretical work on "neighborhood unit" housing types culminated in the communities he built for the United States military during the Second Word War with the assistance of his partner Julian H. Whittlesey. As an Army Engineer stationed in Asia, Mayer implemented the first rural development project in Etawah, Uttar Pradesh in India where his role was seminal. In spite of demands stemming from his firm's engagements with several residential projects in the United States after the Second World War, Mayer, with his partners' assistance, completed a few of the most interesting buildings in New York City and at the same time provided the Indian government with master plans for several cities. They all attest to Mayer's dedication to creating humane environments in a variety of scales (from the apartment to the new city) and they provide the context to understanding Mayer's post-War North American full-scale neighborhood unit community, Kitimat, British Columbia, which he designed with his colleagues Clarence Stein and Julian H. Whittlesey.

Taylor）从事家庭房地产业务的初期，就研究并实施了“邻里单元”的概念。在第二次世界大战之前，Mayer在商业房地产和建筑实践中的活动包括与其他知名建筑师的合作，这些建筑师的工作是根据Mayer的建议进行的，其中包括最佳的空气和光线，宽敞的庭院以及满足居民娱乐需求的公共设施，和商业空间。梅耶致力于创造人性化的城市生活条件，而不是增加利润，他的职业生涯的大部分时间都在从事建筑师和作家的工作，以改善公共住房并加强城市贫困人口的地位。 Mayer与Lewis Mumford，Clarence Stein和Henry Wright共同创立了房屋研究协会，其使命是通过对专业人员和公众进行教育来改善住房。梅耶尔（Mayer）在商业建筑方面的经验以及有关“邻里单元”房屋类型的理论研究，以他在第二次世界大战期间在他的搭档朱利安·惠特尔西（Julian H. Whittlesey）的帮助下为美国军方建立的社区达到了高潮。作为驻亚洲的陆军工程师，Mayer在印度北方邦的Etawah实施了第一个农村发展项目，他的作用是开创性的。尽管第二次世界大战后他的公司参与了美国多个住宅项目的需求，但梅耶尔在他的合伙人的协助下完成了纽约市一些最有趣的建筑，并同时提供了印度政府已针对多个城市制定了总体规划。他们都证明了梅耶致力于创建各种规模的人文环境（从公寓到新城市），并为理解梅耶战后北美全尺寸邻里单位社区（不列颠哥伦比亚省基蒂马特）提供了背景。他与同事克拉伦斯·斯坦（Clarence Stein）和朱利安·惠特西（Julian H. Whittlesey）设计。
