廢墟花園

透過鄉郊基金的項目資助，香港大學建築學院中國建築與城市研究中心的王維仁教授團隊，對老圍宋家老宅遺址進行保育設計，以廢墟花園的空間想像，探索宅園與大樹共生，文化遺產與自然保育的創新方法。設計立足宅院的空間特色結合結構安全，在起伏土丘與老牆的肌理光影之間，安排廊道亭臺的遊園路線，界定磚瓦鋪地與花園植栽，重建茶亭樓閣的簡單生活空間，保育老宅記憶與建築牆體和大樹。宅園的設計除了見證谷埔民居百年的空間變遷，也是建築土石牆體的自然材料，與樹根和風雨侵蝕的對話，更是老宅人居回歸大地的參與呵護與見證。

Under the support of CCFS, the micro renewal for the Sung's Patio in Kuk Po, conducted by the HKU Faculty of Architecture's Center for Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, led by Weijen Wang's design research team, preserves traces of century-old spatial transformations of four-bay row houses. The design engages in a dialogue between the material textures of the walls, tree roots, and the forces of nature.Amidst the interplay of stone-wall shadows and the rolling hills, the design capitalizes on the courtyard's spatial characteristics while ensuring structural stability. It incorporates a garden route that winds through pavilions and corridors, reconstructs essential living spaces, conserves the textural details of the building, and explores innovative approaches to the coexistence of architecture and trees—merging cultural heritage preservation with natural conservation
