香港大學設計建造工作坊 SUMMER 2025 HKU
DESIGN BUILD WORKSHOP
香港大學和名古屋造形大學的學生合作通過再修、再用、再生的材料和施工策略，將日本岐阜當地舊房屋改造為供兒童和其他社區成員活動使用的社區中心。該計畫目前由當地非政府組織 Hitonone 經營，由青年志願者為兒童提供方便的課後活動與託管服務，並於 2025 年夏季推出首個社區計畫。學生在建造過程中親身接觸場地、材料和社區中的人，重新思考建造的本質，將建造由一種對大地的侵入轉化為照料人類和自然環境的行為。岐阜屬亞熱帶氣候，氣溫平和且常年濕潤。我們將香港生活的日常知識帶到日本——摒棄隔熱和保溫，重新利用現有的建築元素並混合使用回收材料，在室內外分隔、創造不同的氣候區域。整個建築的不同構件具有結構支撐和家具使用的雙重功能，實現構件的一物多用並為公眾開啟不同的使用可能。
Students of the University of Hong Kong and Nagoya Zokei University collaborate to develop material and construction strategies for the repair, repurposing, and regeneration of an unoccupied and unattended house, transforming it into a Public Home for children and other community members. The project is currently run by Hitonone, a local NGO that provides accessible after-school care services for children, and it welcomes its first community programs in Summer 2025.
The hands-on experience brings students into direct contact with the site, material, and people. In this process, we rethink the nature of construction not as intrusive or disruptive actions on earth, but as a form of caretaking of people and the environment. Gifu has a humid subtropical climate that is mild and constantly moist. We bring our everyday knowledge from Hong Kong to Japan - instead of insulating and sealing the building, we reappropriate existing building elements and hybridize materials to create different climatic zones for both the inside and outside. Structural elements would double their function as furniture that allows for different social behaviors within the space, creating a home for the public.
