👁迷失的視線，欣賞舊徙置大廈的建築美學🏢 南山邨商場由兩座徙置大廈形住宅伸延的平台包圍而成。平台主要則以兩層街市所組成，商鋪、餐廳則散在四周。相比起一般「綜合平台型」商場都具有十分空擴開放空間，這商場的開放空間則滿佈裡街市的檔口，但也因而創造了不規則的行走動線，緊接著周邊連接各住宅的通道。商場的橫向層次相對清晰，由三個主樓梯連接。樓梯最終通向開放的運動場，與下方街市繁忙緊密的氣氛成了強烈對比。運動場飽覽三邊住宅大廈的走廊景觀，當然對於居民來說可能久缺私隱度。但因大廈重複性和對稱性畫面令這運動場變成了打卡熱點，大家欣賞建築美學的同時，記得將音量收細! 商場各層的連接並不是明顯，但因而塑造了每層不一樣的性格和氣氛。 地區: 石硤尾 建造年份: 1977 建築類型: 綜合平台 樓層: 3 持有公司: 房屋署 Unobservable/ Nam Shan Shopping Centre is formed by two podium levels of the market, surrounded podium retail stores at slab housing blocks. Although there is barely an open space in the podium level, the open planned market space creates free flows of circulation, interacting with the walkways towards different housing blocks. The horizontal hierarchy of the shopping centre is relatively clear, connected by three main staircases. On the contrary to the busy market podium, the stairs will eventually bring to an open sport court with recreational facilities at the rooftop. Surrounding by the stretching corridors of slab housing blocks, you can see the moments taking places in the neighbourhood. The rooftop sports count becomes a trending hotspot for photo taking. Although there is a lack of visual connection between different levels, it creates a non-disturbed and open ground for all to use.

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

啟業邨商場 啟業主場！環環相扣的建築群保護著空曠的中央廣場 一目了然的視線/ 啟業邨的規劃是將社區及商業空間都佈置在邨裡的中心。 而當你到達廣場中心觀察四周，便會覺得其格局是清晰易明的。 底層的商鋪圍繞著中央廣場，上層便是社區中心。而商場、街市、停車場與商鋪和社區中心井井有條地環環相扣。一條樓梯從停車場外在廣場中心冒出，並通過清晰的標示設計引領你到剛翻好的「啟業主場」。中央廣場的安全感來自被包圍的建築群，但廣場只提供一些長凳和景觀設計，因此多只吸引到老人家和附近上班的人來休息。整體來說空間之間連結得很有條理，只欠公共空間用途的多樣性。 地區: 九龍灣 建造年份: 1981 建築類型: 庭院式 樓層: 1 持有公司: 民坊 Observable experience/ In Kai Yip Estate, all community and commercial programmes are clearly positioned at the centre of the estate. When you arrive at the open space, you will easily indicate that a block of shopping centre connects all street stores at the ground floor that sitting under the housing blocks and community services at the upper level are connected by a covered walkway and a community centre. The extended staircase pops up from the car park and guides you from the ground to the rooftop sports court through clear architectural form and signage. The open space is secured by housing blocks, community centre and car park block. Since there are only some benches and landscape provided, the major occupants are elderly who were resting and workers were having their quick lunch and break. All programmes are well connected, but lacking diversity for the inhabit in open space.

🏘居屋相信是很多夾心階層上樓的願望，但在2002年推出的「孫九招」令居屋消失了長達12年。雖然居屋近年重見天日，近年居屋的質素卻令很多人失望。首先新居屋的面積與私營的納米樓不相伯仲，雖都設明廚，但面積有些只有二百呎，明廚反令空間更難使用。而且因需節省成本和保留公屋與居屋間轉換的靈活性，新居屋與公屋有一樣的交樓標準。話雖如此，居屋的中獎率亦只有約1%，可說是香港人的悲歌。今次我港想分享下近年兩個居屋奇則。 屏欣苑/ 天水圍/ 376sq ft 第一個奇則是建於2018年，坐落天水圍市中心的屏欣苑。同樣十分鄰近地鐵站，原為私人發展地皮，後來因政府政策而改為居屋發展。其屋邨商場採用了最新式街道商鋪規劃，但住宅部份卻令人失望。其中一款一房單位[圖2]，十分離奇地以廁所隔開了單位兩邊，大門對正廁所門，突出的廁所空間亦令側邊的空間只能用作通道之用。 旭禾苑/ 火炭/ 454-463sq ft 第二個想講的是建於2020年，坐落火炭的旭禾苑。這棟居屋位置尚算方便，鄰近火炭地鐵站。奇則發生於面向禾寮坑路的兩房單位[圖1]，因要減低對噪音的污染，單位以45度斜向馬路，並附加上隔音牆。這個角度的扭轉導致平面圖則出現了很尷尬的三角空間，雖然巧妙地填上水錶房、廁所和廚房，但剩下的無窗房只能用作儲物室。儲物室的角度限制亦令其與廚房有相近尺寸。 🏘首個私人發展商推出的資助房屋 為了實現夾心階層（特別是年輕人）的上車願望，近日首次有私人發展商推出資助房屋計劃。作為有研究過房屋政策的我，感到相當鼓舞。 //香港終於有人肯嘗試新嘅房屋發展模式🥺// 如果成事，新世界將捐出一幅新界西地皮及興建300個單位，實用面積介乎300至550平方呎的一房至三房單位。售價以市價約五至六折不牟利地出售。以售價270萬的一房單位為例，半價九成按揭後，首期只需13.5萬!雖然這個計劃只提供300個單位，但至少對未能抽到居屋人士總算多了一個希望，開拓了新的道路。看過了剛介紹的居屋奇則，大家就拭目以待，這私人發展的資助房屋又會有什麼突破或驚喜？ #我港 #kongcept #我港建築 #archi_kongcept #天水圍 #火炭 #居屋 #香港屋邨 #屋邨商場 #hkshoppingcentre #香港自救 #hongkongshoppingmall #shoppingmall #pops #hongkongestate #estatelife #hkcommunity #屏欣苑 #hkdevelopment #hkarchitecture #新世界 #建好生活 #buildforgood
