历史的边缘——白慈里公园
Edge of History – Pak Tsz Lane Park
1911次中国革命前奏曲(辛亥革命):为了纪念1911次革命(Sun Yat sen博士率领的中国资产阶级民主革命推翻了清朝),城市复兴局开始了白土巷工程,庆祝香港与革命的联系。Pak Tsz Lane位于香港岛中西部地区附近,是一座被旧建筑包围的死胡同。Pak Tsz Lane是孙中山历史上的代表人物之一,他在这里介绍了他在香港的活动,并强调了他与中国的密切联系。她是弗伦自由会的故乡,其创始人也加入了Sun博士的复兴中国社会。它的战略地位使白慈巷成为经常举行革命会议的地方,因此被称为革命的摇篮。
Prelude of the 1911 Chinese Revolution (Xinhai Revolution): In commemoration of the revolution of 1911 (the Chinese bourgeois democratic revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen which overthrew the Qing Dynasty), the Urban Renewal Authority has commenced the Pak Tsz Lane project to celebrate Hong Kong’s link to the Revolution. Located among the neighborhood of Central and Western district on Hong Kong Island, Pak Tsz Lane was a blind alley surrounded by old tenement building. As one of the nodes on the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail mapped to introduce his activities in the territory and hence highlight his close tie with Hong Kong, Pak Tsz Lane was home to Furen Liberary Society, which its founder had also joined Dr Sun’s Revive China Society (XinZhongHui). Its strategic position had made Pak Tsz Lane a post where frequent revolution meetings took place, and hence known as a cradle of the Revolution.

Design Concept and Approaches
该遗址的历史和文化背景构成了设计理念和方法的中心,即白慈巷被复兴,成为中心区的公园,以追溯旧的城市结构和隐晦的芙蓉文学社。因此,公园的设计主题是“中国革命的起源”。
The historical and cultural background of the site formed the centre of the design concept and approaches, that Pak Tsz Lane was revitalized to become a park in Central district to retrace the old urban fabric and the veiled Furen Literary Society. The “Origin of Chinese Revolution” was therefore adopted as the design theme for the Park.
这一概念要求各种展览项目和空间为有形和无形遗产创造一个清晰的地址,同时给整个空间一个独特的身份,为游客提供一条连续的路线来体验历史,并增强白慈巷的特色。巷道入口、封闭式开放空间和梯田走道形成了一个独特的空间,供人们享受、娱乐和共同愿望。
The concept calls for a variety of exhibition items and spaces to create a clear address for the tangible and intangible heritage and, simultaneously, to give the entire space a distinct identity, to provide a sequential route for visitors to experience the history and to enhance the characters of Pak Tsz Lane laneway. Laneway entrances, enclosed open space and the terraced walkways form a unique space for enjoyment, recreational and communal aspiration.
公园包括三个主要部分:特色展馆区、展览走廊和历史主题游乐区。除了绿色元素、雕塑和娱乐设施外,公园还融入了展览功能和追踪革命进程的互动设施。虽然遗址毗邻社会的老聚集地,但白慈巷公园的展览室划分反映了遗址的历史面貌,模仿了革命室,并重新聚集了革命精神。白慈巷早年的氛围也被重新创造,游客们被鼓励走过古老的足迹,了解历史。
The Park comprises three main sections: a feature pavilion area, an exhibition corridor and a historically themed play area. Apart from to the green elements, sculptures and recreational facilities, the Park also incorporates exhibition features and interactive facilities tracing the progression of revolution. While the site is adjacent to the old gathering place of the Society, the division of exhibition rooms in the Pak Tsz Lane Park reflects the historical aspects of the site, imitates the revolutionary room, and recongregate the spirit of revolution. The ambience of Pak Tsz Lane in early years is also re-created, and the visitors are encouraged to walk through the old footprints and to learn about history.
白慈巷公园将该地区的独立建筑和可持续发展结合在一起。复兴工作促进不同层次的视觉联系,以及各种当地居民和游客的无障碍性。此外,它还提高了公众对当地历史的认识,连接过去,创造未来。
Pak Tsz Lane Park binds together the individual buildings and sustainable developments in the district. The revitalization work promotes visual linkage at different levels, as well as accessibility for various local populates and tourists visitors. In addition, it raises the public awareness of the local history, connecting the past and creating the future.
