「芳園書室」旅遊及教育中心暨馬灣水陸居民博物館
Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong
"The concept is to celebrate our school, where we have filled the space with joy and laughter. The place is engraved with our movements"
馬灣芳園書室始建於20世紀20年代，為當年漁民自行籌集資金所建的一所小學。隨着時代的變遷，漁業日漸式微並轉開始轉型。昔日主要以漁業維生的鄉民漸漸轉投採沙行業，所採得的沙粒，會被送到附近的廠房製成玻璃。概括而然，馬灣並非富庶之地，讓他們的子女接受教育似乎是唯一能帶領他們擺脫貧困的途徑。
受托於本地道教慈善組織，圓玄學院和香港發展局，他們希望藉由彰顯故人為了成就後代的意志，將這三級文物保育單位，重塑並建構成一現代博物館。
作為回應，我們以呈現從前兒童耍樂活動的軌跡為概念，勾畫出一個充滿動感的展覽空間。透過精確的計算和現代科技的協助，我們分亳不差地將半透明薄膜依付在骨架上，達致將其動態具象化的目的。讓客人沉浸於活潑的氣氛下重溫舊日的足跡。
"See, this is our school! This little piece of garden is filled with our movements. The yellow boxes marked where we have jumped, ducked, played hid-and-seek….."
"….and this is where I have learned to be who I am today."
"I tried really hard to concentrate in class! But perhaps, I have enjoyed playing a bit more than learning."
"I remembered that the lights of the interior changes, as the sun sets, the classroom became crimson."
