「灣仔街市:八十年前的超新科技,僅餘一家,請不要當爛鐵賣掉!」

without comments

請到這裡聯署,甘甘希望能搜集到一百個簽名,用作(直接和間接)敦促有關各方盡快暫緩拆卸工程,讓專家進場勘察,並把具有歴史價值的部分作適當保存。

To: 致發展局、市建局、民政局、文物專員、古物古蹟辦事處 由於灣仔街市正在局部拆卸,街市內裡結構,尤其是鋼鐵結構部分,在推土機和風鑽下盡露眼前,讓我們發現,這座三十年代落成的建築物,竟正在反映著香港建築歴史中一個不為人知的重要部分。因此,我們要求政府與發展商達成協議: (一)暫緩拆卸工程,讓專家進場勘察。 (二)把具有歴史價值的部分(尤其鋼架結構部分),作適當保存。 要求理據: 1. 科技價值 街市用了三十年代最先進的建築科技,是與當時製造帝國大廈、鐵達尼號、巴黎鐵塔以及金門大橋相同的一種技術(即在燒焊技術成熟以前,以六角頭螺釘Bolt及窩釘Rivet把工字鐵牢牢接合);香港另一以此技術興建的是第三代匯豐銀行,由於匯豐銀行已拆卸,僅存的灣仔街市是了解這種建築科技的唯一實體。 2. 建築學奇景與歴史懸案 街市雖只有兩層高,卻用上了興建百層高樓的鋼架結構技術,其建造方法異常堅固,絕非專家所言的「鹹水樓」。這裡產生了一個可能是重要的謎:在三十年代經濟低迷、大戰迫近的期間,政府為何以遠超所需的物料和技術去建造一個庶民建築?這將是歴史學者的新研究題目。 3. 歴史價值 是次發現,不僅對工程界和建築界有重大意義,對灣仔社區以至不少香港市民而言,同樣有重要的歴史意義,因為它見證了灣仔總是最先引入高新科技的傳統,亦是市民共同擁有的物質遺產。透過適當的保存,我們和我們的下一代就可以用眼睛和雙手,親身感受和明瞭自己的歴史。 顧問:李浩賢,港大建築文物保護課程主任;參考:《香港經濟日報》2009-05-19 杜正之 :〈採訪手記〉、《東方日報》2009-05-20 黃英琦:〈「超結實」〉

I’D Rather Dance With You

with 3 comments

I’d rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don’t we just move into the other room
There’s space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven’t read a single book in years
And the only film I saw, I didn’t like it at all

I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you

The music’s too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I’ll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you’ll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing…

(Getting to the swing…)
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance, I’d rather dance than talk with you
I’d rather dance with you
I’d rather dance with you
I’d rather dance with you

月鳥,是我最喜歡的樂評人。知道他還在寫樂評,聽不同的音樂,這份堅持,實在很好。
現在的我明白那時你為何說喜歡四眼仔多於另外那位,因為他實在太可愛了。Yes, dance is better than talk .
想找好的,非主流而動聽的音樂,到White Noise走一轉吧。一買就五、六隻,其中鈴木昭男Twiggy Frostbite – through fire, Kim Doo Soo 很不錯。
