壹.研究香港電車與都市的關係

憑此票乘搭

We hope to use the tram tracks as a reference point and overlay maps from the 19th to the 21st century onto future maps. Using the tram as a vessel of memory, we aim to reevaluate and reorganize the layered textures through our own memories and emotions.

By reconstructing a space that transcends the past and the future, reality and fiction, and not only spans different areas but also transcends time and space (streets), we can explore once again what we would choose to preserve and carry forward into the future, in what form/role they would coexist with future society, and rediscover the value of architectural existence and establish new relationships with society. This process aims to construct the unique texture and distinctiveness of the city belonging to Hong Kong.

Constructing Hong Kong's Unique Urban Texture

貳.構築屬於香港獨特的都市紋理

Surrounding the tram tracks, the research begins by mapping the city's spatial layout and studying the relationship between trams, the coastline, and urban transformation. During on-site investigations, sitting on the tram, one feels as if the tram itself exists within the city, transcending 119 years of time and space.

Looking out of the window, the buildings along the route not only retain the historical textures and context of different eras but also bear traces of different sites and collective memories.

With urban development, these overlapping traces may inevitably disappear or be forgotten .

香港叮叮車所走過的軌跡見證了很多香 港這個地方很多的在與不在。這張地圖疊 加著從過去到現在以及到未來的香港，在 城市中，有些不曾曾存在過的，但印證了 這座城市的聚變；有些曾經存在過的，但 敵不過時代巨輪的輾壓，還是隨著各種因 素而消失；有些可能會存在，但因應各種 的聲音或阻礙，而沒辦法落實。 坐在叮叮上，以每小時45公里的速度，放 慢回看這座城市，彷彿看到這座城市的 「人生跑馬燈」，在某瞬間發現它的消逝， 能辨識自己所認知的那座城市的事物越來越 少， 突然有種微妙的陌生感，從昔日到現在 ；從那時候的那𥚃，到現在的這𥚃，時間跟 空間開始亂序了， 我們的下一站到底是哪𥚃？

The tracks traversed by Hong Kong trams have witnessed the presence and absence of many aspects of this place. This layered map encompasses Hong Kong from the past to the present and extends into the future. In the city, some elements never existed before but validate the city's transformation. Some existed in the past but succumbed to the overwhelming forces of time and various factors. Some may exist in the future but face challenges and obstacles that hinder their realization.

Sitting on the tram, moving at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour, one can slow down and look back at the city. It feels as if witnessing the "carousel of life" of the city, and in a fleeting moment, realizing its ephemeral nature. The recognition of familiar aspects of the city diminishes, and there's a sudden subtle sense of unfamiliarity from the past to the present. Time and space have become disordered, and we wonder where our next destination will be.

之所以開始這個題目，是因為在我18歲暫時離開了香 港，來到台灣生活，後來2019年遇上疫情，接近五年沒 回去家𥚃，到2023年回去，我事隔多年再次坐上叮 叮車，那種感覺讓我想到一部1987香港電影《胭脂扣》

The reason I star ted this project is because I temporarily left Hong K o n g a t t h e a g e o f 1 8 a n d c a m e t o l i v e i n Ta i w a n . I n 2 0 1 9 , w e encountered the covid-19, and I hadn't returned home for nearly five years. Until 2023, I went back and a chance sitting on the 'DING DING' again,I witnessing many things and that feeling reminded me of a 1987 Hong Kong film called "Rouge."

Our city has experienced several years of fluctuations,when I saw the b u i l d i n g s t h a t c a r r y a s e n s e o f d i ffe re n t e r a s a n d h e a r a m i x o f languages in the environment, there is a strong faint sense of being lost and wor r ied . However, we are not as for tunate as the main character in the movie. What we may face together is the potential of losing our 'DING DING' WW, which remains as a scarce carrier of cultural memory.

那部電影𥚃所架構了一個1930到1980年 香港地景的變遷和對照， 比如風月場所倚紅樓已成幼稚園、 太平戲院則變成7-11等

主角來自30代的女鬼梅艷坊再次回到80代的香港 所感受到的在與不在， 以及對於這50年都市建築風貌快速的變動 感到的迷惘與恐懼 其實隱隱約約的在滲透出某種質疑， 真的會50年不變嗎? 顯然不是， 唯一能讓女鬼跟現代都市連接的就只有叮叮車

WHAT HAVE WE MISSED? 今年是回歸第25年， 這座城市經歷了幾年的波動， 環繞著 具時代 感的建築物，聽著環境中混雜的語言，心中隱隱 約約浮現出迷失，擔憂的情緒，但我們沒有 電影中女鬼 那麼幸運，我們同時會面臨的可能 是失去這個所剩無幾 的文化記憶載體叮叮車。 Our city has experienced several years of fluctuations,when I saw the b u i l d i n g s t h a t c a r r y a s e n s e o f d i ffe re n t e r a s a n d h e a r a m i x o f languages in the environment, there is a strong faint sense of being lost and wor r ied .

當招牌，繁體字，霓虹燈，廣東話，叮叮車..... 隨著時間，時代消失，我們剩下什麼？ As time and eras pass, what do we have left when signage, traditional Chinese characters,neon lights, Cantonese, and trams disappear?

叮叮型號120模型

因為當時要準備打仗，工廠囤積了大量戰 爭需要用上墨綠色。 在戰後50、 60年代， 香 港沒有條件發展消費式經濟，所以政府管 理的公共設施需以經濟為原則，就選用最 便宜嘅油漆也就是戰時用剩的顏色

香港叮叮車在1904年開始為香港島這座島 嶼服務，而最具紀念性的就是這台「120」號 電車， 目前在香港只剩一台，車身全部菜用木製， 而最具歷史價值和意義的是，車廂所用的顏色 「墨綠色」

The Hong Kong tram, commonly known as the "Ding Ding," began serving the island o f H o n g K o n g i n 1 9 0 4 . Th e m o s t i co n i c tram is the "Number 120," which is the last remaining tram of its kind in Hong Kong.

Its body is entirely made of wood. The color associated with the tram car, which holds significant historical value and meaning, is "dark green" or "emerald green.

In the post-war 1950s and 1960s, Hong Kong did not have the conditions to develop a consumer-based economy.

As a result, the government had to prioritize economic considerations when managing public facilities.

They opted for the most affordable paint available, which happened to be the leftover wartime colors, including dark green. This choice was made to ensure cost-effectiveness and practicality.

叮叮在香港街道上，彷如一座 會移動的建築， 它高 4 米 9，寬2米，車身長8米9，穿越 街道， 跟大大小小的招牌和陽 台擦身而過，無形之中， 有種 曖昧又緊張的刺激感。 "Ding Dings," resemble moving buildings on the streets.

With a height of 4.9 meters and a width of 2 meters, their body length spans 8.9 meters. As they traverse the streets, they brush past signs and balconies of various sizes, creating an intangible yet exhilarating sense of ambiguity and tension.

在英治時期， 英國人跟少部分外國商人都 居住在維多利亞城， 因此至今香港島一帶都 留下了很多英式建築，到後面則出現了中英 混合的建築樣式，例如：和昌大押 During the British colonial period, British residents and a small number of foreign merchants lived in Victoria City, which is why there are still many British-style buildings in t h e H o n g K o n g I s l a n d a r e a t o d a y. A s t i m e went on, a blend of Chinese and British architectural styles emerged. One example is the Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, which showcases a mix of Chinese and British architectural elements.

WHEN THE TRAM ENCOUNTERS A PEDESTRIAN FOOTBRIDGE

另外，我認為叮叮車跟橋的關 係是最 Additionally, I find the relationship between the tram and bridges to be the most 迷人，一搬橋高 5 米 4，叮叮車的高 fascinating. On one hand, the bridges stand 度 4 米 9 ，無論是 站在橋上或是坐 at a height of 5.4 meters, while the tram has height of 4.9 meters. Whether standing on 在叮叮車上，那種若即若離的感覺， athe bridge or sitting on the tram, there is a 既緊張 又曖昧，我覺得這體驗必須被 sense of proximit y and distance, creating a 強調並且保留 ，所以我在研究時把叮 te n s e ye t a m b i g u o u s fe e l i n g.

It feels like going back to the past, yet it is also the future.

So, where does one go from and to? When does one arrive?

I intend to overlay and intertwine this mixture of reality and illusion, the past, the present, and the future, compressing them into a single space. Moreover, I attempt to retell an era's stor y that belongs to my memories.

皇都戲院，前身為「璇宮戲院」，建於1953年，是一座單幢式戲院， 於2017年獲評為一級歷史建築，它最具特色和歷史文化價值的莫 過於其外露式拋物線型混凝土桁架 The former "Empire Theatre," now known as State Theatre, was built in 1953. It is a single-building cinema that was recognized as a Grade I historical building in 2017. Its most distinctive and historically significant feature is its exposed, curved concrete truss structure.

而璇宮戲院座落於電廠街跟曾被譽為「小上海」的北角英皇道交界， 而這個地方同時劃分在北角和炮台山之中，所以他也是處於一個模 糊地帶，好像都屬於，卻又好想無法劃分清楚

The Empire Theatre is located at the intersection of Electric Road and King's Road in North Point, which was once known as "Little Shanghai." This area falls within the boundaries of both North Point and Fortress Hill, creating a somewhat ambiguous zone that seems to belong to both yet cannot be clearly delineated

跟叮叮車一樣，皇都戲院一直備受爭議，隨時面臨被清拆的危 機於2020年，建商宣佈擬定重構表演藝術場地，但只留整個戲院 建築以及復修天台俗的「飛拱」桁架結構。換句話說，我們能留下 來的只剩軀殼，裡面的時代故事以及不同年代的集體生活記憶還 是逃不過被挖坑的命運 但幸運的是他還是以某種行事下繼續跟行的時代的社會並存著， 即將於2026年重新開幕，為香港寫下行的時代故事，拼湊著新的 生活紋理 Similar to the trams, Emperor Theatre has been embroiled in controversy and constantly faces the threat of demolition. In 2020, the developers announced plans to redevelop the site into a per forming arts venue, preserving only the entire theater building and restoring the iconic " flying arch" truss structure on the rooftop. In other words, what remains is just the shell, while the stories of different eras and collective memories of past lives within its walls are destined to be lost.

Fortunately, it will continue to exist in some capacity alongside the changing times. It is set to reopen in 2026, weaving together new layers of life and contributing to the ongoing narrative of Hong Kong's history, creating a tapestry of fresh urban texture.

2026 從新開幕

第一站 FIRST STATION 這條街道像電影場景一樣，是叮叮 車陪伴香港 119 年的縮影，街道從 窄 到 寬 ，從 從 前 到 未 來 ，從 海 邊 到 「石屎森林」...... 我嘗試加入香港不同風格建築元素， 並且以叮叮車的尺度開始構想，試圖 為三座橋設定不同的角色。

This street, like a movie scene, is a condensed representation of the 119- year companionship between the tram and Hong Kong. The street transitions from narrow to wide, from the past to the future, from the seaside to the 'concrete j u n g l e .' A d d i t i o n a l l y, I a m a t t e m p t i n g t o incorporate architectural elements from different eras in Hong Kong and envisioning it starting from the scale of the tram.

從第一座形式像牌樓的橋進 Entering through the first bridge shaped like a traditional Chinese arch, 去 ，粗 獷 式 的 外 型 希 望 建 構 一 the rugged exterior aims to create a transitional point where space, time, 個空間時間跟氛圍轉換的過渡 and atmosphere intertwine. 點。 在英國殖民時期，不同地方的 交界或在大型慶典時，都會建一 個牌樓，因為當時是英治政府，牌 樓的立面不是傳統大眾所認知 的中國式建築，是中英文化混雜 的樣式，所以它彰顯的時間線跟 空間 感 知 是疊 加 更 印 證了兩 個 政 權交替的香港

During the British colonial era, gateways or arches were erected at the borders of different regions or during grand celebrations. As Hong Kong was under British governance, the facades of these arches differed from the traditional Chinese architectural style and showcased a fusion of Chinese and British influences. The overlapping timeline and spatial perception of these arches affirmed the alternating reigns of the two powers in Hong Kong.

因此，在這條街道的入口中，我 Therefore, at the entrance of this street, the design of the arch facade aims 所設計的牌樓立面同樣也希望 to blur the timeline with different architectural elements and diminish the 藉由不同時期的建築元素模糊 observer's sense of space, hinting at the forthcoming entrance into a 時間線跟削弱人的空間感知， distinct realm. 預告即將進入不一樣的場域

第二座，它式以橋的形式所構 想的車站，位處街道的中間，希望 藉由結構幾乎全部外露的建築立 面來呼應皇都戲院的拱型桁架 另外，交錯的兩條人行天橋分 別連結電廠街跟英皇道， 重新界定 原本無法劃分的模糊地帶

The second structure is envisioned as a bridge-shaped station located in the middle of the street, designed with the majority of its structure exposed to echo the arched truss of the Emperor Theatre.

Furthermore, the two intersecting pedestrian bridges connect Electric Road and King's Road, redefining the previously indeterminate blurred zone.

除此之外，裡面包涵了霓虹燈， In addition to that, the structure incorporates Hong Kong's urban features 鐘樓等不同香港城市特色，外露 such as neon lights and clock towers. The exposed structure allows for the 式的結構賦予霓虹燈可以隨著時 neon lights to be modified or adjusted according to the changing times. 間變化更動或調整的機能，希望它 是能於隨著時間跟空間的變動，不 It is hoped that this structure can continuously transform and coexist with 斷的轉換，不斷以新的形式/角與 future society in new forms and roles, adapting to the ever-changing time 未來社會共存著 and space.

最後第三座橋，為街道的出口 外 型 具 未 來 感 ，牆 面 高 五 米 ，前 半段長 1米6 ，它橋坐落於香港 島最原始的海岸線上，所以在設 計 的 設 定 中 ，當 叮 叮 車 穿 過 橋 ， 會像時光倒流一樣回到從前的 維多利亞港上 所以在橋中我希望透過時間 和空間的轉換，從入口的轉彎再 到 出口 總 共 需 要 6 到 8 分 鐘 ，從 寬 闊 的 街 道 ，到 狹 窄 的 牆 面 ，從 高 樓 大 廈 到 海 岸 上 ，整 個 過 程 刻意的營造出一種未知的緊張 感。 而紅白色除了彰顯未來感，同 時也象徵香港一國兩制得政治 原則。

he final third bridge, serving as the street's exit, has a futuristic appearance. Its walls are five meters high, and the front half is 1.6 meters long. The bridge is located on the original coastline of Hong Kong Island. Therefore, in the design concept, when the tram passes through the bridge, it feels like a journey back in time to the former Victoria Harbour.

Thus, within the bridge, I hope to create a sense of tension through the transformation of time and space. It takes a total of 6 to 8 minutes from the entrance, through twists and turns, to reach the exit. The transition goes from a wide street to narrow walls, from tall buildings to the coast. The entire process deliberately cultivates an atmosphere of the unknown.

The choice of red and white colors not only accentuates the futuristic feel but also symbolizes the "One Country, Two Systems" political principle in Hong Kong.

進入街道後所看得的，體驗到的，像是回到過去，卻又是未來， 所以是從哪裡到哪𥚃，甚麼時候到甚麼時候呢？我想把，這種虛 跟實，過去，現實跟未來疊加，跟交錯壓縮在一起，看起來想是在 香港，卻又不像在香港。 Upon entering the street, the experience feels like a journey to the past, yet it is also the future.

So, where does it start and end? When does it take place? I aim to create a fusion of the virtual and the real, intertwining the past, present reality, and future. It appears to be in Hong Kong, but at the same time, it doesn't quite feel like Hong Kong.
