自工業革命以來,工業先進國家經歷重大的城市化,以因應生產方式的變化,諸多大都市應運而生,如倫敦、巴黎、紐約、東京等,二次大戰之後,由於汽車的普及,郊區快速發展,相對舊城區頹敗,都市變成綿延大片區域的都會,成為歐美城市的共業,在日本則有「新陳代謝論」,以超大尺度的基礎設施為都市骨幹,生活的空間成為可替換的單元,來對應新時代的暴增城市人口及生活方式。

這些由上而下的規劃,在六零年代遭到反動,Jane Jacobs的名著「美國大城市的生與死」,主張重視舊城區的重要性,恢復其活力,以及由下而上的社區經營,發展出「破碎式都會」的模式,但仍然難以改變最耗能最無社群的生活方式,完全倚賴汽車、購物中心、與郊區。

七零年代亞洲四小龍堀起,香港與台北都閱歷了驚人的成長,城市面貌也有滄海桑田的改變,在用最經濟最實際的方式反應之下,這兩個城市至今卻也能保有相當的特色與個性。

過去二十年間,中國城市快速發展,其規模超越全球過去的經驗,舊城區大量的被拆除,居民動遷,社會組織被拆散,超大型的複合型商業及住宅被植入,成為難以言喻的經驗,但是究竟是否合於人居呢?

在此高速城市發展,以及巨量的房屋需要,以及巨大的利益誘因之下,我們有選擇,還是沒有選擇?只是社會與經濟力巨力之下的棋子?

快閃/流動建築 flash MOBile architecture



快閃/流動建築是香港大學專業進修學院建築學專業文憑學術團隊應2011-12香港深圳城市/建築雙城雙年展策展人的邀請而構思的一個建築工作坊,本著今屆雙城雙年展的主題「三相城市:時間‧空間‧人間」試圖突出「時、空、人這三個塑造城市本質和質素最重要的層面」。

我們摒棄了一貫的工作坊模式 ----那種依賴參加者的意願進行預先登記,於特定的時間前往到Top of Form發起人Bottom of Form特別提供的場地進行的作業。相反,我們嘗試尋找一些未被充分利用卻又不費分文的公共空間(地方),在沒有預先張揚的情況下(時間)進行一系列讓市民大眾隨意自發參與(人)的互動建築工作坊。

是次工作坊在形式上的特質正好反映在它的標題上--我們尋求去結合兩個不同概念:快閃和流動性。

快閃被定義為「一大群人在社會媒體的動員下聚集在一個公共場所,在很短的時間内做一個不尋常或有趣的活動」。是次我們將動員五組二年班的學生,在城市周圍的公共空間進行這個公眾參與的工作坊。

至於流動性,這裡說的就是建築的可移動性,是動態的,是暫時的,也是這次工作坊的主要元素。

我們的目的很簡單,就是帶來一點點的影響 -- 我們希望用一個有趣和獨特的方式,鼓勵市民大眾自發地參與,從而提高他們對建築作爲一種公共藝術課題的興趣和關注。


flash Mobile architecture is a project conceived by the HKU SPACE Professional Diploma of Architectural Studies academic team upon the curators’ invitation to lead a public workshop as part of the Hong Kong  & Shenzhen Bi-City of Urbanism/Architecture.   In line with this year’s theme; "Tri-ciprocal Cities: The Time, The Place, The People", which emphasize the "interplay of time, place and people, each being significant dimensions that shape the essence and quality of a city".

We have forsaken the accepted method of conducting a workshop which relies on the participants’ willingness to register and attend and the venders’ commitment to the availability of the venue. Instead, our workshop will be utilizing Hong Kong’s under-used and cost-free public space (the place) for a series of spontaneous (the time) interactive workshop for the public (the people) on architecture. 

The title of this workshop reflects its very nature; the marriage of two ideas; flash mob + mobile architecture.

The term flash mob is defined as "a large group of people mobilized by social media to meet in a public place for the purpose of doing an unusual or entertaining activity of short duration".  Five groups of our year two students will mobilize themselves in public spaces around the city to conduct this public engagement workshop. 

The term mobile architecture gives the notion of architecture that is movable, is dynamic, is temporary; the very essences of our workshop.

Our objective is simple; we hope to bring awareness to architectural issues that influence the Hong Kong public by engaging them to participate spontaneously and in a fun and unique way.


我們誠邀公眾參與是次活動,詳情如下:

2011-12香港‧深圳城市\建築雙城雙年展》的策展團隊挑選了三部電影作品,透過電影表達展覽主題「三相城市:時間‧空間‧人間」,最後將放映《世界分鐘》。五輛的士,五個城市,一個晚上。電影在洛杉磯、紐約、巴黎、羅馬和赫爾辛基的迷離夜色之間遊走,夜更的士把本來毫不相干的人拉在一起,星探、盲女、移民、神父隨時共處一室,盤踞前後座的人,關係又豈止司機和乘客那麼簡單?幕幕人間風景,側寫各城的獨特面貌。

2011-12 Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture is presenting 3 films in the light of architecture and urbanism under the theme of the Biennale, “Tri-ciprocal Cities: The Time, The Place, The People”, the last of the trio being Night on Earth. Five taxis, five cities, one night. The film wanders in the night of Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki as it unveils the vignettes of life on various taxi rides. Exploiting the infinite possibilities of chance encounter, the film serves as a moving portrait of the cities.
