摘要
香港地区美荷楼建于20世纪50年代,是为安置石硖尾火灾的灾民所建造,代表了香港地区公屋建设的开端。作为现代主义建筑的代表,也是香港地区仅存的H形徙置大厦,美荷楼具有一定的保留价值,但它一度面临着保护资金不足、遗产价值未被广泛认同等问题。因“活化历史建筑伙伴计划”,美荷楼得到修缮与更新,被改造为青年旅舍,并成立了“旧居民网络”等社区组织,成为传承香港地区历史、维系邻里情义的载体。美荷楼的活化案例虽有争议,但不失为解决公屋老化问题以及战后现代主义历史建筑保护的一种可借鉴的路径。
Mei Ho House was built in the 1950s to accommodate refugees from the Shek Kip Mei fire,marking the beginning of public housing development in Hong Kong region.As a representative of modernist architecture and the last remaining H-shaped resettlement complex in Hong Kong region,Mei Ho House embodies cultural significance as an architectural heritage.Despite its cultural importance,it once faced challenges such as inadequate funding for conservation and a lack of widespread recognition of its heritage value.Through the‘Revitalizing Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme’,Mei Ho House was restored and converted into a youth hostel.Additionally,organizations such as“Mei Ho House Alumni Network”were established,reinforcing the site’s role as a vessel for the transmission of local history and sustenance of neighborhood bonds.Although the revitalization project generated debates,it undeniably presents a valuable model for the conservation and utilization of old public housing and for post-war modernism historic buildings in general.
