薄扶林村的聚集點


我對聚集點作為一個界面或工具以加強村民的聯繫很感興趣。作為香港其中一條最老的村落,薄扶林村近日入選世界文化遺產基金會監察名單。不少村民從小一直生活在村裡,村民關係,特別是鄰居關係非常密切。很多老人都會在白天坐在屋外與朋友聊天。村子亦不時舉辦活動,以振興村莊的文化和歷史。

在這個項目,我以非官方場所的形成, 研究了這些場所的受歡迎程度。普及通過看它的形成,我還錄了總在村裡發生的活動,以及他們對聚會空間的要求。在下面的圖中,我主要展示空間的使用如何隨時間改變。

During my research on the system of gathering spaces in Pokfulam village, I discovered that

there are a lot of informal gathering spaces, despite the presence of formal parks built by the government, they still decided to create their own small and impermanent gathering space, and most of them attract more people and are better used than the formal ones.

 Instead of seeing these informal areas as a “problem” to the village – as to some extend, it blocks the pathway – we should view it as a “solution” generated to satisfy the needs of villager with the consideration of the existing situation, there must be some visable elements in its arrangement.
