  • 築覺：閱讀香港建築（增訂版）

    by 建築遊人 ...
    「建築師不只是在圖紙上畫一道牆，而是畫了牆與牆之間的空間。建築物是有形（Tangible）、空間是無形的（Intangible），建築師需要同時考慮人類對實體與空間的需求、甚至更多無形的事情。」──建築遊人建築是一座城市的外衣，也是城市文化的容器，更隱約透露這座城市的內涵，盛載歷史也記錄變遷。城市建築的設計方式影響我們的審美觀、價值觀及生活習慣，在隨處可見的屏風樓、發水樓、蛋糕樓、粟米樓，和那些雲石水晶燈高檔會所豪華大堂之外，香港建築，還有甚麼？香港的建築有德國Bauhaus、Art and Crafts Movement、Baroque Style等的影響，也有世界級設計師Norman Foster、貝聿銘、Cesar Pelli、Terry Farrell等的作品。建築遊人以大量重新繪製的平面圖配以相片文字，解構建築在工程設計、人文生活、歷史宗教、商業都市 ...

  • 建築思話

    by 香港建築師學會 ...
    城市是人類文明的產物，而建築是文化的載體。建築師的角色對於城市建設可謂舉足輕重，他們堅信在構思城市和建築設計的過程中，除了要讓人和自然共存，還應達至協同效應，令環境和人的生活更上一層樓。是以他們將文化、時間及空間有機結合，再透過自身的專業知識，根據大眾的需求，建設以人為本、優質的居住環境，呈現當代文化魅力和生活美學。每位建築師對於城市規劃、建築保育、建築美學，乃至建築政策等，都有其獨特的見解和經驗。適逢香港建築師學會成立65周年，特以集結65篇文章，讓社會大眾能從更廣泛的視野解讀社會和文化，並藉此讓讀者認識本土建築師的各種面向，一窺他們對於城市規劃的所思所想，當中更談及近年備受關注的城市發展的議題。此書所收錄的文章，是香港建築師學會會員自2012年起，在《信報》所刊登的「建築思話」專欄撰稿。適逢香港建築師學會成立65周年，學會團隊經編纂和整理後，從四百多篇挑選出六十五篇結集成書 ...

    **人群聚居的城市，不再為了人群而存在於是空間與人皆無所適從「美國建築界最直言不諱的良心」邁克爾．索金，犀利剖析當代都市亂象的跨時代經典**　　生活在都市裡，你是否曾覺得想歇歇腳步卻無處可坐？是否曾舊地重遊卻因光鮮亮麗的街景喚不起回憶而寂寞？是否曾想和他人說話卻又隱隱心生恐懼？　　城市原本是人自然聚居之處，為什麼演變至今卻讓身處其中的人感受到無比壓力、徬徨孤獨？這樣的情緒，許多人都曾感受到，卻難以言說、無所適從。箇中原因，其實早在一九九○年代，就有美國著名建築評論家、都市計畫專家邁克爾．索金直指核心。他銳眼看破欣欣向榮的都市霓虹背後，城市變得名存實亡，率先提醒「虛空都市」對於人們的影響無孔不入，掏空情感、記憶、交流卻讓人不自覺。本書出版後，制衡了美國對於都市的盲目樂觀，也成為建築都市領域理解當代空間結構的必讀經典。　　城市作為人群匯集之處，曾是活力十足、自由開放的所在，給人機會多、人流多 ...
