社區移動屋台 COMMUNITY MOBILE YATAI
香港大學設計建造工作坊 SPRING 2024 HKU
DESIGN BUILD WORKSHOP
十二名香港大學學生前往日本岐阜，與當地建築師、學生和工匠合作，在岐阜善光寺外建造一座移動「屋台」。屋台是日本一种小型流動食品攤建筑类型，通常出售當地美食和街頭小吃。它們在城市里構成了沿街的都市織理與流動的社會結構，将個人行為（飲食）與公共活動之間的界限模糊交錯。通過將香港製造的鍍鋅鋼構件與當地木構結合，團隊共同為善光寺外的公共空間建造了一座共享的流動屋台：它既是公共慶祝活動的問訊處，也可作為週末市集的美食站。社區移動屋台是我們與岐阜合作的一系列小型城市改造計畫中的先行項目，旨在逐步將善光寺周邊的社區空間轉化為屬於市民的公共領域。
Twelve HKU students travel to Gifu, Japan and work collectively with local architects, students, and craftsmen to build a mobile “yatai” outside of the Zenkō-ji in Gifu. A yatai (屋台) is a small, mobile food stall in Japan typically selling local delights and street food. They form physical streetscapes and social fabrics of the city, where the boundaries between personal behaviors (eating) and public activities interweave into each other.
Using galvanized steel components fabricated in Hong Kong, the team collectively builds a yatai for the public square outside of Zenkō-ji. The yatai becomes both a information stand and a food stop for communal celbrations. In the process, we gain first-hand experience in construction process, building up tolerances to adapt to the changing or unexpected constraints on-site, and adopting local techniques to economically and creatively facilitate the construction. The yatai is the first of a series of small-scale urban catalytic projects we develop with our partners in Gifu to incrementally cultivate the Zenkō-ji public square into a public realm for the city.
