架构师提供的文本描述。第二次世界大战期间，许多工程师、科学家和其他工人被招募到东田纳西州进行曼哈顿项目的开发。由于这一增长，SOM签订了合同，为美国联邦政府计划的秘密地点设计一个总体计划和住宅设计。橡树岭新城总体规划将成为城市设计项目的基础，不仅是针对SOM，而且也是美国标准的基础。更多关于橡树岭新城镇总体规划后休息。

Text description provided by the architects. Many engineers, scientists, and other workers were recruited to East Tennessee during WWII for the development of the Manhattan Project. Because of this growth, SOM was contracted to design a master plan and home designs for the secret site planned by the U.S. Federal Government. The Oak Ridge New Town Master Plan would become a foundation for urban design projects not just for SOM, but for American standards as well. More on the Oak Ridge New Town Master Plan after the break.

索姆利用蜿蜒的主干道网络来保护橡树岭风景如画的景观。街道规划旨在向用户提供尽可能多的信息。主要动脉被命名为国家的名字，而较小的街道从这些小街道开始，以同样的字母来验证连接。一条“小巷”被认为是死胡同，而“道路”则是与另一条街的连接。正是这种设置使得这个城市的新居民更容易找到彼此。

SOM used a winding arterial network of roads to help preserve the picturesque landscape of Oak Ridge. Street plans were designed to be informative as possible to the users. Major arteries were given names of sates, and smaller streets running off of these began with the same letter to validate connections. A "lane" was expected to be a dead-end, while a "road" was a connection to another street. It was this setup that made it considerably easier for the city's new residents to find each other.

该地区使用预制的模块化住宅、公寓和宿舍。Cemesto面板是用于大多数建筑，因为它的耐用，轻量级的特点，使其易于安装。两年内，橡树岭的居民从3，000人增加到75，000人。

The area utilized prefabricated modular homes, apartments, and dormitories. Cemesto panels were used for most of the construction due to its durable, lightweight character making it easy to install. Within two years, Oak Ridge grew from 3,000 to 75,000 residents in 1945.

一封信中提到的一系列模板被用于预制房屋。例如，一居室的特点是字母“A”，而“F”指定了一个大家庭的家。这种有效率的组织为计划中的社区提供了一个具体的结构，显示了它作为一个政府项目的根源。

A series of templates, noted by a letter, were used for the prefabricated homes. For example, a one-bedroom would be characterized by the letter "A", while "F" designated a large family home. This type of efficient organization gave the planned community a specific structure showing its roots as a government project.

由SOM制定的橡树岭总体规划成为美国城市规划演进的重要一步。对SOM来说，它也是公司在政府项目工作中的催化剂。

The Oak Ridge master plan by SOM became in important step in the evolution of American urban planning. For SOM it was also a catalyzing agent for the firm in its work on governmental projects.
