講座簡介 About the Talk
近年來，公眾對香港自己的建築文化越來越有興趣，越來越多人試圖去瞭解和欣賞香港的建築。風格是一般公眾認識建築的常用概念。例如，在香港，很多建築被冠於「包豪斯風格」和「粗曠主義風格」。這些命名是否準確？這些風格源自何處？香港還有其他什麼建築風格？除了建築風格，還有什麼概念和角度可以幫助公眾去欣賞和體驗香港建築？本講座將以具體的例子試圖討論這些問題。
In recent years, the public has become increasingly interested in Hong Kong's own architectural culture. Style is a common concept the public use to understand the buildings. For example, many buildings in Hong Kong are labeled as “Bauhaus Style” and “Brutalism Style". Are these labels accurate? Where do these styles originate? What other architectural styles are there in Hong Kong? Besides architectural styles, what other concepts and perspectives can help the public to appreciate and experience Hong Kong architecture? This talk will attempt to answer these questions with concrete examples.

講座簡介 About the Talk
香港的建築設計自30年代開始廣泛受到現代主義影響，強調功能主導設計，關注建築的實用性、經濟效益和生產方法。香港的公共建築，例如街市、學校、社區會堂等，最能體現現代主義建築的精神。它們既實用又設計簡約，符合現代社會對經濟和民生的需求。公共建築與市民的日常生活息息相關，是人們經常出入的場所。正因為這些日常建築遍佈在社區四周，我們容易忽略它們的社會和建築價值。本講座將會以我們在日常生活遇到的現代公共建築為例子，審視建築設計如何適應現代社會的挑戰。
Since the 1930s, the Modern Movement of architecture, which emphasizes the functionality, economic benefits, and production methods of buildings, has widely influenced architectural design in Hong Kong. The city’s public buildings, such as markets, schools, and town halls, best embody the spirit of architectural modernism. Their plain and efficient design meets the social and economic needs of the modern era. They are everyday architecture that is closely tied to people’s daily life. Because they can be found in every district, public buildings are easily mistaken as unimportant or ordinary. In this talk, the speaker will examine the ways Hong Kong’s everyday architecture adapts to the challenges of modern society.
