香港藝術中心的故事:                                                                         

  作為香港藝術中心,它的建築設計就已是藝術的展現。以建築師兼藝術家的何弢先生來設計是最合適不過。自1977年開幕至今,香港藝術中心仍有著那凝聚藝術創作的強烈吸引力。

 

  它坐落在一個細小的地塊,卻要包涵內裡非常複雜的功能,建築師善巧地以三角形為主題,把這主題淋漓盡致的表現在它的佈局、結構及外型上。

 

  它的天花板是以結構性能的三角形組成,大大的遞減了建築中的支柱。它的中央樓梯連結著不同的功能空間,當年它的中間還懸著如藝術品的冷氣喉管。建築師強烈的表達了現代主義「外型追隨功能」的信念,它的美不是來自多餘的裝飾,而是它簡潔,那不可缺少的功能上和機能上的美。香港藝術中心,至今仍是香港建築上極優秀的作品。

 

Hong Kong Arts Centre

 

  Hong Kong Arts Centre is housed by an architecture which is itself an art piece. It was designed by architect and artist Mr. Ho Tao. Since its opening in 1977, Hong Kong Art Centre still posses the power to attract talents and nurture art creation.

 

  Built on a small piece of land, Hong Kong Arts Centre is a compact building that allows multiple and complex functions. The architect delicately utilised triangles as the theme and adopted the pattern throughout the design layout, building structure and forms.

 

  The ceiling is composed of structural triangles to reduce the number of pillars within the architecture. The central staircase connects different functional spaces within the building. In the past, air-conditioning pipes were hung in the central area like an art piece. The architect strongly conveyed the concept “forms follow function” of modern architectural style in his design. The beauty of Hong Kong Arts Centre does not come from excessive decorations but its simplicity and brilliance in functions and mechanism. Hong Kong Arts Centre is still one of the best architectural masterpieces in Hong Kong nowadays.
