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.

大牌檔的個性/🔥 上回提到大牌檔的歷史，但大牌檔其實有甚麼價值？價值的衡量因人而異，但對於香港的飲食文化、活化社區(Community Bonding)和旅遊業的發展上有一定的潛力。作為香港街頭飲食的代表者，大牌檔不論在環境和食物上都極具特色：見證了香港飲食發展和貢獻著香港人的日常；無驅無束的環境與生活的調劑；火水爐的高熱火焰與大鍋氣小炒；木摺檯和摺凳和那綠色巨型鐵皮箱。 活化社區(Community Bonding)/🤝 大牌檔把商鋪與街道連結成一個地方，營運成香港人生活的一部份。開放式廚房和飲食環境有效地放大了所屬公共空間（Public Space）的社交空間元素，利用其豪爽的本土風味把食客和路人帶進同一個氛圍。猶如英國街頭看見的那些戶外咖啡室，美國沙灘旁的那些酒吧，傳統大牌檔文化本質上能活化社區或成為玩樂熱點的常客。在香港，只有這裏能無驅無束地與三五知己吃一頓飯，充滿壓力的香港人正正需要這樣的調劑。 哪裏找沒有創意的人？香港政府/⚫️ 隨時代進步，舊有事物自然會被淘汰，那麼你認為大牌檔是否已經過時？其實長久以來困擾大牌檔的都是衛生問題、擠滿狭窄街道所產生的安全問題和排污問題，均是技術上的小障礙。但大牌檔的獨特個性還深深吸引著外國的朋友們，滿載著港人的集體回憶，問題只是港府或商家不懂得利用香港人的飲食文化，如能在保留其個性的前提下把排污及衛生等問題處理好便能好好地發展。#有志者事竟成 香港是美食天堂?高級Food Court?/👼 香港為何被譽為美食天堂，是全世界米芝蓮星數top3地區、有美麗的海港夜景，但香港本土飲食文化呢？香港是國際大都會但漸漸失去了自身的特色（cultural identity），成為一個沒有靈魂的容器/工具。在香港，建築方面的保育較易被大衆察覺，但各種非文質文化遺產或軟文化則尚有極大的發展空間。文化的流失亦與市民本身有關，請不要只青睞外國的好，請不要只引入外國的好，請嘗試借鑑外國的優點去好好地孕育本地既有的文化，希望我港能助你發現到這些被遺忘的寶藏。或許他日，大牌檔文化將會成為外國人的借鑑對象。 Authentic HK Dining Experience/🇭🇰 What is the value of Dai Pai Dong? As a representative of street food in Hong Kong, Dai Pai Dong is distinctive in terms of environment and food. Iconically, it is a giant green metal box and serve foods cooked by Kerosene Stove, strong firepower. Such firepower injects “Wok Hei” into every dish, each dish can be made in a “hot” wink with a balanced dry body and delicious charred taste. By the way, remember to order a bottle of Blue Girl, it is a perfect pairing with food full of “Wok Hei” . In addition, as traditional Dai Pai Dong is integrated into the public street to operate and become part of Hong Kong, its open-air kitchen and dining area effectively amplify the social space element of the public space. It uses its rich local flavour to bring diners and passersby into the same atmosphere. Similar to the outdoor cafes on the streets of the UK, the bars beside the beach in the US, the traditional Dai Pai Dong culture can definitely revitalize the community or even become a famous spot. Its must be more fascinating than restaurants that you cannot even speak up freely with your friends. Dai Pai Dong is yet to be rescued or fully utilised. #我港 #kongcept #我港生活 #大牌檔 #daipaidong #香港文化

橫向依靠著山崖，縱向為居民提供山上下的連接/ 見彩興苑和彩德邨居民為天橋的使用權鬧得如火如荼🤪，所以我港就來介紹其實能取代天橋功能的彩德商場吧！ 它算是較近期的屋邨商場，位於九龍灣的山上，又是我中學經常去的商場(踢爆自己中學系列）。商場設計有別於一般的方正外型，設計以流線型外觀和綠化點綴去呼應山坡的形狀，底層的曲型坡道連接上層停車場，讓設計不只留於觀看而有實際功能。 底層設少數商鋪，在彩興苑建成之前，居民其實已經可以在山腳乘搭升搭機直到五樓穿過商場前往彩德邨其他住宅大樓和鄰近的彩褔邨。而中間4層則全是停車場。高層商場部份設有落地玻璃能眺望山下九龍灣的景觀。總結來說它的橫向流線外型依靠著山邊，但它為居民提供山下與山上縱向的接駁空間。 地區: 九龍灣 建造年份: 2010 建築類型: 中庭式 樓層: 6 持有公司: 房署 Leaning against the cliffs horizontally, providing residents with connections up and down the mountain vertically/ Choi Tak Shopping Centre, as relatively recent retail centre, is located in the hill of Kowloon.The design presents as a streamlined appearance and sprinkled greenery that the form of the hillside.

彩雲邨商場 穿梭在這城市森林的坡道細看著片刻的喧嚷🌲🌴 各種社區空間的驚喜/ 彩雲邨商場被清水灣道分成兩邊。由於這個屋邨與九龍灣和彩虹都相對較遠，因此這裡的規劃比較全面和集中，包括巴士總站，市場，超級市場，餐廳和雜貨店等，能夠自給自足。這個商場的空間絕對能給你不少驚喜。沿途走過這商場，你會發現一個休憩空間向清水灣道伸展出去，原來這裡種著一棵百年老樹；在酒樓對面的走廊可以發現兒童玩樂的設施；商場的中心點是個像「城市森林」般的公共空間；最後你可以走過樓梯上到空曠的天台平台看遍整個山頭。儘管彩雲的社區中心與商場（大約200米）是分開的，但是整座商業建築本身已經提供了很精彩的商業與社區體驗。 穿梭在城市森林的坡道/ 六個園境的佈置構成了這個「城市森林」。很有趣的是居民很自然地分佈在三個區域以免發生衝突或打擾到其他人。空間的南側是老人休息和看報紙的地方；中央部分因馬會開設在側旁，而被不少中年男士佔據著。北側多為休息或吃午飯的人。三個區域沒有明確的分界線，郤能看到他們能夠和諧地分享同一空間，這裡讓我看到社區自主的可能性。兩個坡道橫誇整個「城市森林」，提供了一種較慢的步行體驗，一邊可以細看著公共空間發生的片刻，另一邊可以觀看到攤位之間的喧嚷。 地區: 彩虹 建造年份: 1979 建築類型: 開放式建築 樓層: 4 持有公司: 領展 Urban Forest/ Six blocks of landscape form the urban forest. There are generally three types of user who determine their occupying zone clearly to avoid conflict and disturbing experiences. The south side of space was occupied by elderly who were resting and reading newspapers; the central part was occupied by men who were doing horse betting while the jockey club was next to the space; the north side was occupied by the elderly and workers who were taking a break or having lunch. The circulation is directing to the urban forest. On the contrary, two ramps run between the span of the void offering a walkable experience that you could either be watching the activities in the urban forest or in the stores on the other side.

菱形牽成和諧對稱的視覺畫面，突顯屋邨商場的建築美學/ 建生邨商場算是「中庭式」(Atrium Type)商場的一大代表。商場以粉紅式的菱形和三角形作主為線條，構成了一個和諧和對稱的中庭空間，這裡看到的建築美學比現有很多大型商場都來得優美。而據說紅調的設計是呼應原址舊有的紅磚廠。除了商場門外的公共空間外，商場內上層四周都有座位，好讓居民在這休息。可惜的是與恆安邨商場一樣，在門口加建的扶手電梯阻礙了成個商場原有的流動性。值得一提是商場後方與住宅區域連接的連橋：簡潔的圖形、線條，搶眼的粉紅色與藍色，讓你暫時逃到了一個不同的時空。 地區: 屯門 建造年份: 1989 建築類型: 中庭式 樓層: 3 持有公司: 領展 Kin Sang Estate Shopping Centre/ The rhombus forms a harmonious and symmetrical visual picture, highlighting the architectural aesthetics of the estate shopping centres/ It can be called is a representative of the "Atrium Type" shopping centre.
