新翠邨商場: 綠洲與商場之間,真的需要明確的界線?
February 26, 2021

新翠商場分成兩部份,一邊是超級市場,另一邊與一座住宅塔樓融為一體。 商場入口與屋邨中央公園的綠化空間合併。 玻璃拱頂照映著商場的池塘中庭, 大量的綠化景觀和碎石花紋的外牆互相呼應。 樓梯正對著池塘的中央,彷佛在叫停你去細看這片綠洲間的片刻,但由於新建了自動扶梯,令原有的樓梯體驗被忽視了。 上到一樓推開其中一道防火門,通過走火通道,你便能到達隱藏在對面超市上方的球場。有趣的是雖然現為領展持有的商場,但除了地圖的平面設計是與其他領展商場統一外,經過40年的歲月,這裡設計保存的完整度罕有地高,就連代表新翠商場的原有LOGO仍能看到。

Is there boundary between oasis and shopping centre?/Sun Chui Shopping centre consists of two parts. One is the supermarket and the other one is integrated with a slab housing block. The building form is in line with the rectangular contour of the slab block. The entrance is merged with green and recreational space at the centre of the estate. A curved glass roof shines the human-made pond. The incredible amount of greenery and the use of stonework echo harmoniously with the pond. The staircase is orientated to observe the moments at the pond but is inhabited because of the newly built escalator at the opposite. Surprisingly, there is a secret bridge, behind a fire escape hallway, that links up the adjacent sports court above the supermarket block.

屋簷上的橙色磚瓦
屋簷上的橙色磚瓦⛺️/ 華明邨商場是由兩座商業建築所組成,兩者由天橋連接。建築師的設計意念是想將屋邨內的公共空間和商業建築群打造成傳統的中國庭院。 不單利用了退台式的磚瓦屋頂達至每層建築輪廓的偏移,而其邊界也運用了大量綠化裝飾,兩棟建築之間的動態輪廓構成了很有趣的對稱開放空間。 建築師刻意將四座樓梯塔從兩層的商業建築向上延伸,便能吸引到訪者視覺上的注意力,而忘記頭上充滿壓迫感的屋苑大廈。 「民坊」更因應這設計風格翻新了商場裡的街市,以中式宮殿設計呼應室外的園林景色。這個商場的成功之處在於經過三十年後的今天仍然能保留其獨特魅力,更主導了管理公司的翻新設計方式,而不是被翻新成單一化的商場設計。 地區:粉嶺 建造年份:1990 屋邨商場類型:庭院式 樓層:2 持有公司:民坊 Wah Ming Shopping Centre consists of two commercial blocks linked by a foot bridge. The core idea is to transform the complex into a traditional Chinese courtyard. The retreating tiled roofs, offsetting from the block boundary with greenery input, creates dynamic contours of the open space in between. Four staircases tower with tiled roofs intentionally extend from the complex. They draw the attention from visitor and away from the compressive housing blocks. “ People’s Place “ renovated the market according to the original shopping centre design. The new Chinese palace design echos with the sense of Chinese courtyard. The success of this shopping centre is that it still retains its unique charm after 30 years, and it is capable to dominate the management company's refurbishment design instead of being refurbished into a homogeneous shopping centre design.

公共廣場變國際學校的操場,商場成富裕階級的囊中物
公共廣場變國際學校的操場,商場成富裕階級的囊中物/ 每次我做資料搜集時都是會先看看google 照片,經常都會彈出讓人不感安逸的新聞標題,今次亦不例外:「興民商場活化後僅餘5間鋪 商場傳變國際學校」 當然新聞也無誤地變成事實,屋邨商場變成了法國國際學校。簡單講講興民商場的設計,同樣跟上次介紹的彩德商場類近依靠在山邊,以一部電梯塔所連接到上層的商場部份,現只剩數間商鋪。商場主體本來有一個露天廣場,被商鋪包圍,是居民流連和購買日常用品的地方。現在成為國際學校的操場和課室。當我看到公公婆婆被趕到商場門外的長凳到休息,不禁感到十分心酸。 所以到底為何會有這樣的結果?領展在2016年將商場賣給「佛山順聯集團」,集團接手後初期已被投訴管理不善,導致環境惡劣,晚上亦也沒有保安駐場。商戶三個月後隨之收到通知全數不被逐約,更多疑似集團從中圖利事件可參考下面ref文章。結果商場改建為國際學校,而同時被此集團購入的田灣邨商場也落得一樣下場。商場不但被私人化而奪走其公共性,更成為了富裕階級的囊中物。 地區: 柴灣 建造年份: 1982 建築類型: 庭院式 樓層: 3 持有公司: 佛山順聯集團 參考報道: 1. 柴灣興民商場明年結業 業主要求還原店舖 商戶:特登掠水/ 獨立媒體 2. 柴灣孤島 - 興民商場「活化」後僅餘5間舖商場傳變國際學校/ HK01 Public square became the playground of the international school, estate shopping centre became the pocket of the wealthy class/ The news headline about estate shopping centre in google search always make people feel uncomfortable. This time is no exception: "After the revitalisation of Hing Man Shopping Centre, there are only 5 shops remaining. Rumour spreads about it converting to International School" Of course, the news has also become a fact without error. LINK Reit sold the centre to the "Sunlink Company Group" in 2016. After three months, the merchants received a notice that all of them will not be expelled. As a result, the shopping mall was converted into a French international school. The main body of the centre originally had an open-air plaza surrounded by shops, where residents lingered and bought daily necessities. Now it has become the playground and classroom of an international school. District: Chai Wan Year: 1982 Typology: Courtyard Floor: 3 Ownership: Sunlink Group Company Limited

恆安商場: 走進愛麗絲夢遊仙境的場景
🔮🛖走進愛麗絲夢遊仙境的場景! 恆安商場坐落於屋邨中心的商業建築。 邨內的樓梯和電梯連接著平台,覆蓋範圍之大與「綜合平台型」商場類近。 入邨的過程中,我起初已被三角頂的深啡色天橋和樓梯所吸晴,穿過平台落到地面看看整座建築,延伸的平台篷頂連接著商場、街市和公園,橫向而厚實外牆的三角形邊界不斷交錯,配合外露的綠化景觀,讓你彷彿置身於愛麗絲夢遊仙境的場景。領展可能也看中這一點,將街市翻新成鄉村田園風,那當然沒有屯門安定街市的扭曲外牆那麼誇張! 而有趣的是三角形邊界交錯的背後卻是十分空擴的商場中庭,十分罕見的坡道設計圍繞著整個中庭。而底層的夾層平台,既可以是表演舞台,又引導你搭上不停旋轉的坡道。位於坡道的每個商鋪都不同高度,與旺角朗豪坊上層設計有些許類似。可惜的是新建的扶手電梯取代了慢步坡道的體驗。 地區: 馬鞍山 建造年份: 1987 建築類型: 中庭式 樓層: 5 持有公司: 領展 Passing through the scene of Alice in Wonderland! Heng On Shopping Centre is a commercial block located at the centre of the estate. The podium level stretches and connects across the estate. The canopy extended from the escalator entrance plays as the transactional space between the commercial component, the market and the open space at ground. The floor slab and the balustrade formed multiple triangular planes crossing the entire block. It creates contrasting visual influences between the inside and outside. The visibility from outside is less conspicuous, but that from inside is surprisedly open. The ramping system and the elevated stage space stimulate a continuous walkable journey from the podium to the top. However, a new escalator system has been added nearby the entrance that draw circulation flows into the escalators instead of the ramp.

廣源邨商場: (二) 視覺的分散與吸引力, 你能從城門河注視廣源鐘樓?
視覺的分散與吸引/ 上回介紹了廣源邨之所以會分成九棟建築是因為建築師江焯勳希望為這社區提供更加額外的居住空間。而他的設計意念是由建築的規劃帶到建築的細節上。當你置身於兩層樓高的商場建築的範圍,除了因建築比例與人們接近而提高親密感,你的視線也會被它們吸引著,加上他選用的紅磚外牆與石屎造的住宅塔樓造成強烈對比,令你能夠忽略包圍著你的住宅塔樓。而最著名的鐘樓不只塑造了西方小鎮的氣氛,其實他希望人們在山下的城門河也能夠遠看到鐘樓,就知道這裡是廣源邨,建立廣源邨的獨特形象。 優秀的建築是用時間去證明/ 其實這種街區小鎮的商場規劃在內地十分流行,例如北京的太古里和深圳的深業上城也有類似手法,但建築師江焯勳早在三十年前已經實行了。最令我體會最大的是跟出至他設計的新翠邨商場一樣,卻是三十年不變。這裡沒有一絲領展的改動,甚至沒有領展參與管理的痕跡,走進商場裡的茶記,你還可以吃到不需三十元的燒味飯,這裡的時空減慢了。證明了優秀的建築設計既能夠經得起時間的洗禮,更能抵抗不預計的社會經濟變化。 地區: 沙田 建造年份: 1989 建築類型: 庭院式 樓層: 2 持有公司: 領展 Visual Distraction and Attraction All commercial blocks are built by red bricks and pitch roofs.

順利邨商場: 社區空間起伏流動的粗獷主義
順利邨商場🏢 粗獷主義,社區空間的起伏流動/ 順利邨商場並沒有很明確的邊界,其商場範圍是以舊長型屋苑的建築輪廓作基本規劃,由於整個屋邨窄而長,商場空間像河流般穿梭於兩邊屋苑之中。街市和停車場坐落在屋邨的平台下,而平台上方的行人走道不僅連接了所有屋苑間的商鋪,而且塑造了多個高低起伏的休閒和靜態開放空間。 錯層的空間塑造了被包圍的安全感,並且讓地面的途人容易分辨方向。 商場的形態展現了不少粗野主義的元素。建築群著重表達出十分厚實的橫向感,以較幼的結構柱作支撐,長而窄的窗口更伸延其橫向感。 空間的上下流動與粗獷主義堅實的對比營造了順利邨商場的獨特風格。 地區: 順利 建造年份: 1978 建築類型: 平台式 樓層: 3 持有公司: 領展 Shun Lee Commercial Centre 🏢 Brutalism, the contrast of flowing community space/ The entire shopping centre flows according to the contours of slab block housing of the estate. The market and car park sit at the ground. The walkway at above not only links retail stores at all housing blocks, but it also shapes multiple voids for recreational and static open space. The open space at the split level suggests a secure spatial quality between two levels and become easily accessible from the ground to the retail level. The shopping centre presents itself as the architectural significance of brutalism. Slabs run with thin columns with large cantilevered masses and thick windows. The contrast between flowing spatial organisation and the rooted brutalism style comes into a unique identity in Shun Lee Shopping Centre.

港式保育後的中環街市,能成為承傳或創造文化的載體?
PMQ將宿舍變成文創中心或是大館將監獄變成博物館,但不是所有活化項目都能複制的,當然在香港,成本效益是很重要的考量,大館算是相對成功的背後是因為有賽馬會支撐開支。那「#中環街市」又如何能達到商業、保育及社會發展之間的平衡? 📽從創先河到被迫停業的中環街市/ 中環街市建於1850年,於1938重建成現在具「包浩斯風格」的現代主義建築,因「形式源於功能」,其外觀與開放式空間創當時街市設計的先河。中環街市曾經亦是全東南亞最大的肉類市場。可惜它身處中環商業核心地帶,未能跟隨城市發展的步伐,終於在2003年停止營業。至今成為「新假期」標題中的「歐式日光庭園+舊建築活化打卡位+過百檔本地文青小店/酒吧餐廳/掃街小食」。 📽香港的街市文化/ 街市對於香港人除了是個買新鮮貨的好地方,還是連繫彼此的重要社區脈絡。中環街市正是百年間半山與中上環居民的聚腳點。而它從1842年經歷了三次的重建,承傳到現在的是它在社區發揮的功能及街市文化,建築的設計亦呼應著這功能。街市檔戶世代相傳,例如有魚販從1939年開業,後由子承父業,營運至街市的最後一天。 現在,讓我們來看看中環街市的活化成果。結業前的101個檔口只有13個能回到「街市」,再經過18年的空窗期,世代相傳的檔口早以被迫終斷。取而代之的是咖啡店、文創小店、餐廳、超市。加上被美化的水磨石檔口和樓梯;把街市兩邊分隔開的玻璃,「中環街市」的影子蕩然無存。 📽如何脫離「港式保育」?/ 如以「文化」和「社區」角度去量度活化的結果,那我們要思考的是「中環街市如何成為載體去承傳過往的文化價值或創造新的文化價值。」第一步當然是超越「得返個殼」的建築層面保育,但只是保留街市的功能不合乎這時代的社會需要,過度商業化的設計與營運難為孕育新的文化價值。大館算是平衡到兩者的利益,卻需要龐大資源去支撐。 而在「社區層面」來看,如果以中環街市為起點向上走兩條街,已經是士丹利街的大牌檔,結志街的蘭芳園,嘉咸街的街市和香港最舊的唐樓永和號。中環街市又能否與這些地方產生關係?它能夠成為半山和商業區社區橋樑? 的確保育活化的課題複雜,值得大家思考。 保育案例參考: - #中環立法會大樓,原為高等法院 - #香港大學堂,原為杜格拉斯堡(住宅)、傳道會 - #香港視覺藝術中心,原為英軍宿舍 保育文章參考: - 活化與保育/ 許焯權
